About this listen

In America, demons wear white hoods.

In 1915, The Birth of a Nation casts 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 are Maryse Boudreaux and her fellow resistance fighters, a foulmouthed 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?

Featured Article: The top 100 horror books of all time


This list encompasses the full spectrum of what horror can be—campfire-worthy tales, stomach-churning gore, and incisive social commentary. The classics are accounted for, but it also spotlights more recent titles, because that’s the nature of the genre—it is as perennial as it is ever-evolving, conjuring whatever frights most haunt our collective consciousness. Each title does have one thing in common: It makes for devilishly good listening. So cut the lights and press play—if you dare.

Vivid Worldbuilding • Unique Storyline • Outstanding Narrator • Historical Integration • Lovecraftian Horror

The story is an incredible story of anger and hate. The way the author shows the differences in these emotions is astounding. The audiobook reader does an incredible job with the different voices and songs. Truly a beautiful book all around.

AMAZING

I love the universe that this builds, weaving all kinds of real historical and cultural touchstones into a rich mythology. I wish the other aspects of the book got as much attention—the characters are mostly archetypes and the plot never gives them room to do anything but the climactic move of what would otherwise be a chapter or series of chapters full of subtle discovery. This rushed quality robs most moments of their power, which are treated like big payoffs but have never been given enough time to build beforehand. However, I’d love to read more from this universe and from Clark in general. Narrator Waites does an excellent job. [AUDIBLE]

世界が大好きけどキャラクターとプロットが簡単すぎ。もっと長かったらよかったかも

This was phenomenal

The teamwork between the author and the performer makes a perfect case for audiobooks. In no way would I have been able to enjoy this book as intended by reading it on my own. I get cold chills thinking about the many ways the performer just brought a new dimension to so many moments.

I love being told a story means yes, there was a solid structure to the story. But the relationships were the meat of it. The denouement was sweet without indulging.

I'll definitely listen to it again.

I love being told a story

Wow!!!

Or it’s about time that fantasy is released from the shackles of knights, kings and aristocratic ladys. If you want something different we need writers who ARE different. This a great book that weaves real American history the way that it was experienced by large portion of American society into a great story. There are knights and heroes here who battle evil, but the knights don’t wear plate armor ( and aren’t even CALLED knights) and the heros are an unseen and ignored part of society. Fantastic Book.

This what I love about fantasy

I liked this book ok, it had a Lovecraftian horror vibe which I really enjoyed. However, I think it could have benefitted from being a little bit longer because the characters never really felt very deep and I struggled to connect with them. Overall, it read like a literary classic and because of its content may have the potential to become one.

The narrator was FANTASTIC, one of the best I’ve heard so far. Her voice gave the story so much character and depth. The performance was definitely worthy of 5-stars!

This narrator was perfection

This is, hands down, the best book I've read this year. There are some interesting parallels between this book and Matt Ruff's LOVECRAFT COUNTRY, which I liked but didn't love. Ultimately, I felt like this book accomplished something similar that Ruff had set out to do in his novel, but P. Djèlí Clark did it better than Ruff. It's possible that the difference is in the authors' lived experiences and racial identities...

The narration for this audiobook is excellent. I'm looking forward to reading more works by Clark and listening to more books read by Chance Waites.

Amazing.

Great story, but the narration felt overdone and forced at times distracting from the power of the narrative itself.

Love the story

I felt like I was thrown back to being a kid immersed in a fantasy world. The emotions definitely came through and when it hits I know this work is really good.

The immersion really get you
