Side by Side Book Review: RING SHOUT by P. Djèlí Clark

RING SHOUT by P. Djèlí Clark
Klu Klux Klan members turned into (bigger) monsters under a hex from the Birth of a Nation film and Maryse Boudreaux and friends are not having any of it!  There's so much happening in these short pages and this is a novella that is scary on so many levels.  While this takes place during the prohibition era in Georgia, Clark also peppers in many other historical parts that...
