Introducing the reader to a gallery of eccentric Haitian characters, the author is initiated into the feared Bizango religion and talks to members of the living dead. The book is part history and part travelogue. The author has also written "The Independent Traveller's Guide to Southern Italy".
Haiti is associated with voodoo, Papa Doc and the Tonton Macoutes; of political violence and desperate poverty. In this book, the author is initiated into the feared Bizango religion, an African animalist cult, whose associates venerate coffins and human skulls and talks to zombis, members of the walking dead. The book is part history and part personal travelogue and introduces the reader to a gallery of eccentrics from present day Haiti, as well as from the nation's rich past.

The centaur of the savannahs; in Cahoots with the Macoutes; Paris of the gutter; sorrow in sunlight; the white negroes of Europe; marooned in Jacmel; eating coconuts with Alexandre Dumas; back to Africa; talking in tongues; Bolivar was here; yes, we have no parrots; Easter at Les Anglais; Trollope and turtle-soup; ways of escape; a paintbox possessed; a brush with Zombis; initiation rites; from Dessalines to Duvalier; the pirates and the priest; to the citadel.
