Our October 2025 book selection is "Ring Shout" by P. Djeli Clark
For October’s theme, Scare the Black Off of Me, we’re diving into a novella that is equal parts horror, history, and razor-sharp social commentary. This story doesn’t just creep in the shadows—it stares directly into America’s darkest chapters and reimagines them with fire, fury, and a touch of the supernatural. With monsters that wear hoods, resistance fighters who refuse to bow, and a heroine you won’t forget, this book is the perfect choice for a month when we honor the art of storytelling that unsettles, provokes, and empowers.
