RING SHOUT

Narrator Channie Waites thrills in this fantasy, which blends historical and supernatural storytelling to revisit the Ku Klux Klan's reign of terror in the Jim Crow South. Waites gives depth and unique vocal stamps to the main characters, who possess extraordinary powers they use to exterminate otherworldly monsters called Ku Kluxes. Waites's performance of the various monstrous characters is chilling. Listeners will also appreciate her seamless transitions between Gullah, English, and French at various points. This wonderful story is made even better by Waites's performance. G.P. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2020]
