What if the Ku Klux Klan’s reign of terror was fueled by something far more sinister than hatred alone? P. Djèlí Clark delivers a searing, supernatural reimagining of 1915 America in this award-winning dark fantasy novella that transforms history into horror.
When The Birth of a Nation ignites a firestorm of racial violence across the country, Maryse Boudreaux and her band of resistance fighters discover the terrifying truth: demons walk among us, wearing white hoods. Armed with ancient blades, modern bullets, and righteous fury, this unlikely crew—including a sharp-shooting warrior and a battle-hardened Harlem Hellfighter—wages war against forces both human and hellish.
But when darkness gathers in Macon, Georgia, Maryse faces her greatest challenge yet. Can she stop an apocalyptic ritual before the Klan brings Hell itself to Earth?
