Haitian Horror by Thomas Baurley (Paperback: July 2025). Experience the full text of Thomas Baurley’s classic 1989 research paper, now in paperback, Kindle, or convenient PDF e-book. This edition presents Baurley’s preliminary study from Florida State University on zombies and zombification within Haitian Vodou, with focused discussion of Wade Davis’s primary research and the lasting impact of these stories and beliefs. Baurley traces the journey of the zombie figure, from early cultural accounts rooted in Haitian tradition through the modern fascination found in comics, books, and movies. Drawing on ethnobiological and cultural studies, this work connects scientific, spiritual, and social explanations for zombification, making it a valuable resource for both scholars and curious readers.
