This story is speculative fiction book with horror, fantasy and history at the core. 

This story takes place in Macon  Georgia in the 1915's. This story re imagines the KKK as actual demons who are summoned and possess the white population of country towns every year during their celebration of the birth of nation (murder of Nat Turner). 

It is during this yearly celebration that the the female lead team is set into action to destroy the Klu Kluxes before these possession continues to spread.

It's fast paced and action packed from the first chapter. The big show down in the end puts everything in to prospective for the reader. Great story.
