Supernatural folklore, witches, KKK monsters in P. Djèlí Clarks’ “Ring Shout”

P. Djèlí Clarks’ “Ring Shout, or Hunting Ku Kluxes in the End Times,” is a spectacular journey structured like an action movie, and moves like one too. It’s even got an excellent villain named Butcher Clyde. There is plenty of supernatural folklore, witches, early Black mythologies, haints and gore. The hateful energy of yester-year resonates more than ever in our divided country.

Here is our review and essay about the book. Limited spoilers ahead. More information at https://www.secrethorror.com

Throwback to being on Goulburn to film “Language Matters” for PBS. Very very poor monetarily; very very rich culturally — 400 people spoke 10 languages. Crocodiles in the waters meant that no one ever went swimming — even though the temperature hovers around 100 much of the year. by @bobholman

Cursed Mexican Horror Movie with Dark Nostalgia – “Silver Nitrate” by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Set in the pre-NAFTA 1990s Mexico City, we have a Lovecraftian supernatural thriller – “Silver Nitrate” by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. The author captures the grungy unspoiled Mexico City before NAFTA, while reflecting on a nostalgic past. And there is a lot of nostalgia in this book, dark nostalgia – from the love of early Mexican horror movies to 80s Hollywood slasher films. There’s a deep affection for celluloid dreams, down to the blade hitting the bone.

Here is our review and essay about the book. Limited spoilers ahead. More information at https://www.secrethorror.com
