Ring Shout

This is a great horrific alternative history that does seem eerily relevant this year. And in all I say read it! It was not a fast read for me however, I blame my Yankee upbringing lol.

So heads up that some of the eye dialects are hard to figure out. I would love a non-dialect version of some of the sentences in fact. But I understand and respect the reasoning behind them being there. And culturally I fully agree with their use, but I still did struggle as a result. Most of these lines are at least somewhat explained via context clues. And I do wonder if the audiobook might be easier for someone that isn't familiar with deep south and ethnic black accents.

The premise and the delivery were unique and creative. I really do enjoy this book! And I think it toes the line of horror and emotional connection. You do very quickly connect with these people and feel for them! Well done!
