About this listen

In America, demons wear white hoods.

In 1915, The Birth of a Nation casts a spell across America, swelling the Klan's ranks and drinking deep from the darkest thoughts of white folk. All across the nation they ride, spreading fear and violence among the vulnerable. They plan to bring hell to Earth. But even Ku Kluxes can die.

Standing in their way are Maryse Boudreaux and her fellow resistance fighters, a foulmouthed sharpshooter and a Harlem Hellfighter. Armed with blade, bullet, and bomb, they hunt their hunters and send the Klan's demons straight to hell. But something awful's brewing in Macon, and the war on hell is about to heat up.

Can Maryse stop the Klan before it ends the world?

Well worth the listen

A great narrator performance, covering a range of accents and dialects, clear characterisation, and well performed singing. The novella is punchy, with a kind of Eldrich body horror that reminded me a little of John Dies At the End but here it is coupled with a more elevated commentary on racism and hate.

Great, Punchy Novella

This was kind of an end of days theme with zombies, but it wasn't end of days and they weren't actually zombies. I stuck it out and it was interesting. The narrator did a great job.

Confusing story but interesting

Did not finish as requires too much attention. The performer meets to slow down. Will read hard copy.

The narrator's pace is too fast
