This novella is equal parts history, fantasy, horror, folklore, and thriller and it’s all sorts of good. Set in the 1920’s when the Klan is on the rise, a group of women led by Maryse Boudreaux have taken up arms against the Ku Kluxes—who are not people, they’re actual demons, infecting the world with hate through the film “The Birth of a Nation”.
