Ring Shout: An Evening with P. Djèlí Clark
Celebrate the paperback release of the Tombolo Staff fave, Ring Shout!
Nebula, Locus, and Alex Award-winner P. Djèlí Clark's Ring Shout, a dark fantasy historical novella that gives a supernatural twist to the Ku Klux Klan's reign of terror, is coming out in paperback and he is heading to Tombolo Books to celebrate the release!
Ring Shout was an instant staff favorite when it was first published in 2020, so Tombolo Books is thrilled to welcome Clark to the bookstore to tell us more about this "fantastical, brutal and thrilling triumph of the imagination" (The New York Times).
More about Ring Shout
IN AMERICA, DEMONS WEAR WHITE HOODS.
In 1915, The Birth of a Nation cast a spell across America, swelling the Klan's ranks and drinking deep from the darkest thoughts of white folk. All across the nation they ride, spreading fear and violence among the vulnerable. They plan to bring Hell to Earth. But even Ku Kluxes can die.
Standing in their way is Maryse Boudreaux and her fellow resistance fighters, a foul-mouthed sharpshooter and a Harlem Hellfighter. Armed with blade, bullet, and bomb, they hunt their hunters and send the Klan's demons straight to Hell. But something awful's brewing in Macon, and the war on Hell is about to heat up.
Can Maryse stop the Klan before it ends the world?
