Description: Passage of Darkness: The Ethnobiology of the Haitian Zombie

Brief description:

Wade Davis has studied the zombie phenomenon extensively. He is author of The Serpent and the Rainbow, a chronicle of his experiences in Haiti while trying to locate the zombie poison.

Review Quotes:

"Davis manages to demystify the concepts 'voodoo' and 'zombie' and to make the people involved with these cultural practices seem a little more human, a little less bizarre and incomprehensible." -- New York Times Book Review
