Rezension(4): "Nebula and Sturgeon Award-winning author Sarah Pinsker: The Haunting of Tram Car 015 is a witty, political, magical visit to an alternate 1912 Cairo suffused with richly imagined sights, tastes, and a dash of bureaucracy.

This latest case is something different. When Agent Hamed Nasr and new partner Agent Onsi Yousef arrive at what seems to be a possessed tram car, they discover more than they were expecting. While trying to solve the case with minimal resources, Hamed and Onsi encounter suffragists, a smuggling ring, and sentient automatons. As they close in on the truth, Hamed and Onsi realize that a tram car is the least of their worries: all of Cairo may be at stake from a danger that spans the magical and mundane, requiring all their skills to stop it. VERDICT This novella sequel to A Dead Djinn in Cairo keeps a tight hold through its well-crafted characters and absorbing alternate Egyptian landscape. Recommended for fans of the first book in this new series. --Kristi Chadwick, Massachusetts Lib. Syst., NorthamptonCopyright 2018 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission. " Rezension(6): "〈a href=https://www.booklistonline.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/booklist_logo.png alt=Booklist border=0 /〉〈/a〉: January 1, 2019 Clark (The Black God's Drums, 2018) continues to astound readers with his creativity and exploration of different supernatural entities. While his first book delved into African orishas in 1871 New Orleans, The Haunting of Tram Car 015 introduces djinn, Asian spirits, and automatons. Forty years prior to the start of the book, a doorway opened to the other-realm, unleashing djinn and other entities into this world, helping to free Egypt from British influence and become a world power. Agent Hamer Nasd is an experienced member of the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments, and Supernatural Entities, the government branch that gets called in when something supernatural misbehaves. The mystery of a haunted tram car thrusts Hamed and his new partner, Onsi Youssef, into the midst of Cairo's other religious beliefs as they seek a low-budget option to deal with the possessed tram car. In the process, they discover a sentient automaton, a smuggling ring, and are inadvertently swept into the suffragette movement. This book will delight readers of all ages.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.) "

Maryse Boudreaux is a 25-year-old Black bootlegger who lost her family in a brutal Klan attack. She can see things that are hidden to most, and, in her pursuit of vengeance, wields a mystical blade tied to the spirits of African slaves and chiefs. Maryse and her friends with the sight?Sadie, a brash sharpshooter, and Chef, a female veteran of WWI?are called to Macon by Gullah matriarch Nana Jean to serve as soldiers in the ongoing war against Black bodies. Extradimensional monsters, which they call Ku Kluxes, have been possessing willing white hosts after being summoned by prominent Klan members, but an exponentially greater threat appears in the sinister Butcher Clyde, who spews a hateful noise that is the antithesis of the joyful shouts at Nana Jean's house and the singing of the spirits in Maryse's sword. Clark's latest is set in a visceral world, steeped in historical detail and full of engaging characters, that asks the question, Who is to blame for the hate that hate made? Highly recommended for all readers of speculative fiction, particularly fans of Lovecraftian monsters and body horror.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.) " Rezension(12): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from August 15, 2020 What if White supremacy was not only a monstrous philosophy, but was enabled by actual horrific monsters? Clark's feverishly inventive period adventure imagines this scenario in blunt and grisly detail. The story begins in 1922 on the Fourth of July, with the Ku Klux Klan literally on the march in Macon, Georgia. At first glance, everything looks very much the way it did in real-life history, except it's clear from the first chapter that there are in this white-hooded crowd of White people both human, garden-variety racist Klans and demonic carnivores hiding among them known as Ku Kluxes. The task of drawing out, hunting down, and killing the Ku Kluxes before they can wreak havoc falls to three fearless Black women: sharpshooter Sadie, who aims her trusty Winchester rifle from any distance with deadly precision,Cordelia Lawrence, who won her nickname, Chef, and her battle regalia while fighting with the Black Rattlers regiment during World War I,and their leader, Maryse Boudreaux, the narrator, whose way with a sword is as fearsome as her ability to commune with spirits. This motley trio has been a bulwark against the army of beasts during the early-20th-century peak of Jim Crow racial segregation and violence. But Maryse's sixth sense tells her there's even bigger trouble ahead, and its locus appears to be miles away at Stone Mountain, where both Klans and Ku Kluxes are gathering to mobilize for a near-apocalyptic assault. Clark's novel is at once rousing, boisterous, and clever. He channels the kitschy motifs of early-20th-century pulp horror into a narrative that both spoofs and exalts that flamboyant tradition. In the process, he cunningly and pithily weaves in African folklore, American history, and sociopolitical tropes that resonate with our present-day racial upheaval. Devotees of Lovecraft Country, Get Out, and other horror adventures with African American themes: Take note. Thrills, chills, macabre humor, and engaging heroines to root for: What more could a reader want? COPYRIGHT(2020) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. " Rezension(13): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from August 31, 2020 Nebula Award winner Clark ( The Black God’s Drums ) vividly reimagines the Ku Klux Klan’s second wave in this thrilling, provocative, and thoroughly badass fantasy. In Prohibition-era Macon, Ga., Maryse Boudreaux and friends—the scrappy Sadie and the unassuming WWI-veteran Chef—spend their days slaying Ku Kluxes, demons unleashed by a spell cast by Sorcerer D.W. Griffith in the form of the propaganda film Birth of a Nation . After a gripping and humorous battle between this ragtag trio and the Ku Kluxes, Klan ringleader Butcher Clyde, a creature who feeds on hate, reveals his master plan: use Griffith’s spell to summon the Grand Cyclops. Maryse sets out to put an end to this reign of terror, but when Butcher Clyde makes Maryse an offer too tempting to refuse she must first conquer her own lust for vengeance. Clark expertly uses fantasy to highlight the mysticism underlying the nation’s darkest moments. Lyrical interludes, mythicized “oral histories” of Gullah traditions, and haunting retellings of African American folklore add rich texture throughout. Readers will be both captivated and entertained by this fast-paced alternate history, which doubles as a meditation on the all-consuming power of hate and violence.

She reminds everyone that she gave three warnings that they must leave their homes, but they did not obey,she can no longer protect the village from the coming war. After watching over them for generations, Asha is here to collect her payment: a child. To her great shock, Abeni's mother gives her to Asha. And then war does in fact come to their peaceful valley where they lived quietly, surrounded by a forest. Abeni watches in horror as storm women assisted by magical black ropes capture the adults before a mysterious goat man plays a haunting melody on a flute that ensnares the other children. Abeni, trained in self-defense by Auntie Asha, sets out to find the kidnapped children. She crosses paths with porcupine spirit Nyomi and panther spirit Zaneeya who join her as they pursue quests of their own.

She’s saved by Asha, an elderly witch who lives in the surrounding Jembe forest and has been warning the villagers of impending doom. Distraught and confused following the traumatic event, Abeni struggles to adjust to living with Asha and Obi, a man made of straw, in a home in the witch’s secluded magical garden. Asha is secretive, only revealing that a great war involving spirits and mortals is brewing, that the villagers have likely boarded ghost ships far from the forest, and that Abeni must grow into her magical powers if she hopes to survive the ordeal. As Abeni experiences harrowing trials and tribulations, and recruits new fantastical and human friends, she’s forced to reckon with her hidden abilities and her place in her village’s shrouded history is this intricately detailed, riotously fun adventure by Clark ( A Master of Djinn , for adults) that explores themes of loyalty, friendship, courage, and the power of belief in oneself.

Rezension(11): "〈a href=https://www.hbook.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/thehornbook_logo.png alt =The Horn Book border=0 /〉〈/a〉: September 1, 2023 On Abeni's twelfth birthday, a witch enters her village to give a grave warning: an evil is coming, and it's too late to run. The adults prepare for an impossible battle as malevolent women and a shadowy goat man, aided by magical black ropes and an enchanted flute, begin their attack. When it's over, Abeni survives -- saved by the witch -- but the village has been destroyed and its residents, both adults and children, have disappeared, hidden in the darkness. Abeni despairs over the loss of her community, but the witch, Asha, provides some stability until she seemingly disappears. With the aid of two spirits (a timid porcupine and a brusque panther), Abeni sets out to find her friends and family before they are completely consumed by the dark. Clark presents a rich story of love, loss, and friendship steeped in West African lore. Readers will thrill to the fantastic plot points as well as the genuine relationships between magical and mortal characters, and the fast-paced plot will keep them fully immersed in the story from beginning to end. An excellent foundation for a projected new fantasy series. S. R. Toliver (Copyright 2023 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
