Synopsis "The Magic Island (in English)"
The best and most thrilling book of exploration that we have ever read ... [an] immensely important book. -- New York Evening PostA series of excellent stories about one of the most interesting corners of the American world, told by a keen and sensitive person who knows how to write. -- American Journal of SociologyIt can be said of many travelers that they have traveled widely. Of Mr. Seabrook a much finer thing may be said -- he has traveled deeply. -- The New York Times Book ReviewThis fascinating book, first published in 1929, offers firsthand accounts of Haitian voodoo and witchcraft rituals. Journalist and adventurer William Seabrook introduced the concept of the walking dead ― zombies ― to the West with his illustrated travelogue. He relates his experiences with the voodoo priestess who initiated him into the religion's rituals, from soul transference to resurrection. In addition to twenty evocative line drawings by Alexander King, this edition features a new Foreword by cartoonist and graphic novelist Joe Ollmann, a new Introduction by George A. Romero, legendary director of Night of the Living Dead, and a new Afterword by Wade Davis, Explorer in Residence at the National Geographic Society.
