Reviews
" P. Djèlí Clark couldn''t write a bad book if he tried . Ring Shout is fantastically fun even as its core is as serious as can be." -- Victor LaValle " A fantastical, brutal and thrilling triumph of the imagination ...Clark''s combination of historical and political reimagining is cathartic, exhilarating and fresh." -- The New York Times "Once the story picks up, it keeps hitting hard , climbing -- no, soaring -- to a cinematic finish, with character beats that hit beautifully." -- NPR "A thrilling narrative that mines African folklore, body horror and pulp adventure ." -- USA Today "[An] emotional and riveting novella infused with Black folklore and rich friendships." -- Buzzfeed " Ring Shout is a wild ride into America''s nightmarish history, a fantastical cross between Ralph Ellison''s Invisible Man and Buffy the Vampire Slayer ." -- Annalee Newitz " Slyly told and laced with dark humor , this haunting tale pulled me into a richly realized world I didn''t want to leave." -- Rivers Solomon " Ring Shout is a fearless punch to the heart and head !" -- Jonathan Maberry "A sublime work of revolutionary body horror." -- Sarah Gailey "Brutal and hopeful, farcical and factual, Ring Shout is a book that speaks to the ridiculous and beastly nature of racism in a story that is difficult to put down." -- Justina Ireland "From the start, Ring Shout explodes into vivid color with a voice that''s at once joyous and harrowing ." -- Bethany C. Morrow " A thrilling and provocative inferno of a story . One of the most powerful and propulsive pieces of speculative fiction I''ve read in years." -- Tochi Onyebuchi "Feverishly inventive period adventure.... At once rousing, boisterous, and clever ." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Readers will be both captivated and entertained by this fast-paced alternate history, which doubles as a meditation on the all-consuming power of hate and violence." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "This is a story of Black female power, drawn from both the old and new worlds, a tale that honors the Black American experience in all its complexity , and yet also delivers in its Lovecraftian delight." -- Library Journal , starred review "Clark''s latest is set in a visceral world, steeped in historical detail and full of engaging characters, that asks the question, '' Who is to blame for the hate that hate made? ''." -- Booklist, starred review "Clark does a brilliant job of grounding his spectacle in a convincing and unnerving portrait of the 1920s South, with a few chilling instances of the real costs of racism. What may be more important is how he does this without forgoing the energetic, almost cheerfully musical celebration of the power of resistance and belief." -- Locus "A smart cultural conversation, awesome characters, empowerment, positivity, and more. Accomplishing so much in such a cohesive, unobtrusive way, while pulling off a solid story with engaging, often really funny dialogue, is nothing less than brilliant. This book is a gift to American culture." -- Lightspeed "[Ring Shout] is a skillful feat of establishing distinctive characters, fleshed-out relationships, multiple set pieces, and exploration of racism and hate in the world, without feeling rushed or underdeveloped. That''s a magic trick that makes the KKK''s sorcery pale in comparison." -- FIYAH "Simply put, Ring Shout is a brilliant piece of speculative fiction. In just the length of a single novella, Clark presents a history lesson, copious amounts of action and adventure, social commentary that is critically important in the United States today, and all the elements of fantasy one could desire." -- Nerd Daily, A New York Times Editor''s Choice Pick!

Fantasy, hellacious action, and complex characters along with an unflinching look at the terrifying nature of racism. Highly recommended!" --Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of V-Wars and Black Panther: DoomWar "Set in a magical and magic-ridden Georgia of the 1920s, Ring Shout is a thrilling and provocative inferno of a story. One of the most powerful and propulsive pieces of speculative fiction I've read in years. Fearless. Utterly fearless."--Tochi Onyebuchi, author of Riot Baby "A quick, compelling historical fantasy-horror, told with a great narrative voice and shot through with pit-of-the-stomach dread -- because the most terrifying elements are those drawn from real history. More Maryse Boudreaux adventures, please." --Ian Tregillis, author of the Alchemy Wars and Milkweed series For The Black God's Drums Nominated for the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, and Locus Awards for Best Novella "A sinewy mosaic of Haitian sky pirates, wily street urchins, and orisha magic. Beguiling and bombastic!" --Scott Westerfeld, New York Times bestselling author "Clark's story bleeds with style, elaborate language, and unforgettable characters."--Daniel H. Wilson, bestselling author of Robopocalypse "A mesmerizing, sprawling alternate history brimming with authenticity and voice. You'll be bitterly disappointed when it's over. Clark's novella will leave you ravenous for more." --Justina Ireland, author of Dread Nation "The language and setting is so authentic you'll taste the gumbo." --Tade Thompson, author of the Nommo Award-winning Rosewater "Clark has proven time and again that he's a talent to watch, and this latest offering cements him as one of the best new fantasy authors around." --Troy L. Wiggins, executive editor of FIYAH Magazine "Clark masterfully rewrites history in this spellbinding post-Civil War fantasy.... This story is thrillingly original and will enthrall fans of alternate histories."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review) For The Haunting of Tram Car 015 "A zippy, wonderful romp, and it's made me want to seek out everything P. Djèlí Clark has written in this setting."--NPR.com "P. Djeli Clark once again blends his brilliant imagination with a thoughtful and complex historical analysis -- not to mention plenty of heart." --Daniel José Older, bestsellig author "Utterly delightful, with a sly wit and a deep and satisfying take on alternate history." --Kate Elliott, Nebula and World Fantasy Award-nominated author "A witty, political, magical visit to an alternate 1912 Cairo suffused with richly imagined sights, tastes, and a dash of bureaucracy. Forget the Ministry of Magic; you want to be there when the agents of the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities get to work on a case." --Nebula and Sturgeon Award-winning author Sarah Pinsker "Fast-acting and fabulous! With all-encompassing craft, Clark shares the story of an investigation in which his heroes' efforts and Cairo's cosmopolitan nature work in sync to save the day."--James Tiptree Jr. Award winner Nisi Shawl, author of Everfair "An Egypt full of airships, hauntings, and djinn, The Haunting of Tram Car 015 is a twist on the classic ghost story as only P. Djeli Clark can do. A slow boil of layered story-telling and a fully realized world (that fans of The Wind-Up Girl can appreciate), P. Djeli Clark again makes the case that he's not just a rising star, but an already dawning light."--Maurice Broaddus, author of Buffalo Soldier, " P. Djèlí Clark couldn't write a bad book if he tried . Ring Shout is fantastically fun even as its core is as serious as can be." -- Victor LaValle " Ring Shout is a wild ride into America's nightmarish history, a fantastical cross between Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man and Buffy the Vampire Slayer ." -- Annalee Newitz " Slyly told and laced with dark humor , this haunting tale pulled me into a richly realized world I didn't want to leave." -- Rivers Solomon " Ring Shout is a fearless punch to the heart and head !" -- Jonathan Maberry "A sublime work of revolutionary body horror." -- Sarah Gailey "Brutal and hopeful, farcical and factual, Ring Shout is a book that speaks to the ridiculous and beastly nature of racism in a story that is difficult to put down." -- Justina Ireland "From the start, Ring Shout explodes into vivid color with a voice that's at once joyous and harrowing ." -- Bethany C.

With all-encompassing craft, Clark shares the story of an investigation in which his heroes' efforts and Cairo's cosmopolitan nature work in sync to save the day."--James Tiptree Jr. Award winner Nisi Shawl, author of Everfair "An Egypt full of airships, hauntings, and djinn, The Haunting of Tram Car 015 is a twist on the classic ghost story as only P. Djeli Clark can do. A slow boil of layered story-telling and a fully realized world (that fans of The Wind-Up Girl can appreciate), P. Djeli Clark again makes the case that he's not just a rising star, but an already dawning light."--Maurice Broaddus, author of Buffalo Soldier, A 2021 Nebula Award Finalist!
