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.
