This was amazing and creepy!

I love the ending implying HP Lovecraft is tool of the Ku Kluxes. I hope the author writes a sequel.

Y’all!!! This book was a treat! I love a creature feature with some good body horror, and a plot where a group of Black vigilantes—a sharpshooter, dynamite enthusiast, and magical sword-wielder—target members of the ku klux klan (who happen to be literal demons), is icing on the cake. 

It’s a short, gripping read. It was easy to devour and left me wholly satisfied.
