"Robert Tallant speaks with authority. . . ."
--New York Times
"Straightforward handling of sensational times and tricksters, of the cult of voodooism in all its manifestations. From its first known appearances in New Orleans of 200 years ago, here are the . . . rites and dances, the cures, charms and gris-gris. Here were the witch-doctors and queens, and in particular Doctor John . . . and Marie Laveau."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Much nonsense has been written about voodoo in New Orleans. . . . Here is a truthful and definitive picture."
--Lyle Saxon
The word "voodoo" elicits reactions from fear to fascination; thoughts of pins stuck in dolls, hexes, and strange rites immediately come to mind. But few people know the true origin of voodooism or anything about its practice in America, particularly in New Orleans. This examination of voodoo rites and beliefs is sure to fascinate every reader.
