“Deo Vindici reimagines the Civil War through the perspective of a Creek warrior entangled with Confederate General Earl Van Dorn, Prussian allies, and ancient Egyptian symbolism. Clark’s wildly unconventional novel treats American history as myth, producing a singular, polarizing work that defies easy classification.”

The Confederacy’s Fever Dream, in Hieroglyphs
Clark’s second venture into Civil War territory is bolder and stranger than anything the genre typically tolerates. Narrated by a Creek warrior, Deo Vindici — here a different volume from its predecessor — fuses Confederate mythology with ancient Egyptian allegory and Prussian mysticism into something genuinely difficult to categorize. General Earl Van Dorn emerges not as a historical figure but as a mythic vessel, his campaign refracted through Indigenous eyes and occult symbolism. The prose lurches and dazzles in equal measure. Clark’s ambition outpaces his execution, but rarely his imagination. This is Civil War fiction for readers who find the genre insufficiently strange.
