Ring Shout
by P. Djèlí Clark
I never expected this book to go where it went, but it did.
This story really reinvented cosmic horror in my opinion.
I don’t even know where to start, or end.
For me, when I sit down to think about what I just read after finishing a book, the sense of dread comes into play. If the author can get me to feel just a little shred of dread, he/she has succeeded in blowing me away.
This story is full of anger, vengeance, and history. Not the good kind of history, as the cover will tell you. In just under 200 pages this author has created strong, vengeful characters that tell us how living in 1920’s America really was, in a way.
Every little detail right down to how his lead characters speak, their body language, and how they think speaks to the story.
Without giving spoilers I will say that if you enjoyed Lovecraft Country but felt like you wanted more, but in less words, than this book is for you.
