by Thomas Baurley
 | 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 a 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. Baurley’s “Haitian Horror” stands out for its careful research, direct tone, and honest respect for Haitian cultural realities. This document invites further discussion and collaboration, making it a strong addition to any collection on anthropology, folklore, or global pop culture. 41 pages, full color cover/back, interior black and off-white, 6x9x.11, English, ISBN-13: 979-8292280811.
