About the book
IN AMERICA, DEMONS WEAR WHITE HOODS. In 1915, The Birth of a Nation cast a spell across America, swelling the Klan's ranks and drinking deep from the darkest thoughts of white folk. All across the nation they ride, spreading fear and violence among the vulnerable. They plan to bring Hell to Earth. But even Ku Kluxes can die. Standing in their way is Maryse Boudreaux and her fellow resistance fighters, a foul-mouthed sharpshooter and a Harlem Hellfighter. Armed with blade, bullet, and bomb, they hunt their hunters and send the Klan's demons straight to Hell. But something awful's brewing in Macon, and the war on Hell is about to heat up. Can Maryse stop the Klan before it ends the world?

Reader voices
The most-liked reviews on Hardcover (credited to their authors).
“This is my first time reading a horror book, and historical fiction is a hit or miss for me, but this was a really good read! The positive recommendations and very well done cover got be to pick this up. It is a short book…”
“Idk it was fine. I think I would've enjoyed more exploration of some of the concepts they introduced because there were some very cool ideas but it was just really fast paced and felt like they were trying to make something a movie that would've been better as a mini series.”
