![]() ![]() While the backdrop is a grand part of history I believe we should all be ashamed of and should be far more removed from than we are at this point in time, it provides Clark quite a sandbox to play in with this characters. This novella was an absolute gut-punch from start to finish, and I honestly cannot find a single fault in it. If you don’t find a story with a female, African-American bootlegger with a magic sword that hunts racist monsters appealing, you’ve come to the wrong review. While that sentence alone does not sum up all that Clark has fed into this 192 page novella, it gives you a small glimpse into what you can expect to find within. ![]() Clark is at the top of his game and needs to be on every bookshelf in the world.ĭark fantasy meets historical fiction meets supernatural horror. This is, hands down, my favorite novella of 2020 and nothing is going to knock it off that pedestal. Ring Shout is the best thing I’ve read from Tor.com since The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle. ![]() This did not influence my thoughts or opinions. Thanks to the publisher and author for an advance reading copy of Ring Shout for review consideration. ![]()
