“But like I said already, I hunt monsters.
And I got a sword that sings.”

Holy hell what a powerhouse. Visceral, mournful, and courageous. A perfect blend of historical and supernatural fiction, a good choice for fans of “Lovecraft Country” and the like. I am absolutely flabbergasted I did not read this sooner. More than literature itself, “Ring Shout” is a battle cry.

Coming in at just under 200 pages, it is safe and easy to say that I would have inhaled a tome of over 800 just to experience the feeling this book gave me on a deeper level. Novellas are accessible and fun to read but I would gladly have read “Ring Shout” for weeks. I’ll be thinking about this book for a long, long time.

5/5 absolute perfection.
