This is such an inventive concept! I was immediately taken in by Clark’s writing in RING SHOUT, where we’re dropped right in the middle of the action and the hilarity that is Maryse and her two besties. Clark’s descriptive writing is what dreams (or haunting nightmares) are made of, and I was fully able to visualize what as happening throughout the entirety of the book. The mix of real horrors such as racism and the KKK mixed with the fantastical horrors of Klu Kluxes and eye sockets with teeth was chilling to the bone…yet I couldn’t stop reading.
