Ring Shout by P. Djèlí Clark is $2.99 at Amazon US. (It's a smile link, sorry guys.) Demonic Klansmen. Might be a good companion to Lovecraft Country.
I've not yet read Clark, but he's won or was a finalist for a slew of awards.
Ring Should is a novella at 172 pages (I remember when 172 pages was a sci-fi novel).
Quote:
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?
