Book Description
"The best and most thrilling book of exploration that we have ever read … [an] immensely important book." — New York Evening Post "A 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 Sociology "It 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 Review This 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.

Book Description
It took nearly 4 hours for the ferry boat to cross the cold sea from Bodø on the Norwegian mainland to Moskensøy, southernmost of the Lofoten Islands. Ed Webster stood outside on the ferry's upper deck, buffeted by a stiff breeze, eager to catch his first glimpse of fabled Lofoten. Quite unexpectedly, a string of glaciated, granitic, green islands rose abruptly from the surging waves of the Norwegian Sea. He was sixty miles north of the Arctic Circle, en route to one of the world's most unusual rock-climbing and mountaineering destinations, the Lofoten Islands, situated off the coastline of Norway, southwest of Narvik.
