It’s like Clark has sprung fully formed-with a voice so confident and sure that it ripples through every sentence-onto the scene. This is a punch in the face that demands to be read. Whatever story you are expecting to read, this is not it. “Absolutely essential!” -Hugo Award-winning author Elizabeth Bear
Ring Shout is a cry of release a daring, darling, victory dance a magical exhortation to move, be, and do our very best and an adventure tale sharp and sweet as a first kiss.” -Nisi Shawl, author of Everfair “Phenderson Djeli Clark’s Ring Shout puts a weapon wielding our diaspora’s emotional power…. Djèlí Clark is an unforgettable voice.” -Fonda Lee, World Fantasy Award-winning author of Jade City “A riveting reimagining of history filled with dark and twisted magic, scathing humor, and moments both heartbreaking and hopeful. “ Ring Shout is a sublime work of revolutionary body horror.”-Sarah Gailey, Hugo Award winner and author of Magic for Liars Utterly fearless.” -Tochi Onyebuchi, author of Riot Baby One of the most powerful and propulsive pieces of speculative fiction I’ve read in years. “Set in a magical and magic-ridden Georgia of the 1920s, Ring Shout is a thrilling and provocative inferno of a story. How some of us push ourselves to be more than those emotions, how others glut themselves on the darkness.”-Cassandra Khaw, finalist for the British Fantasy and Locus Awards And I’m still processing its meditations on hatred and rage and fear. I didn’t expect to squirm from the body horror, but I absolutely did. It is brilliant and coldly angry, cosmic horror and historical fiction without a shred of sentimentality. “There are plenty of books that make metaphors of monsters, but RING SHOUT names its horrors without flinching.
