A Little Orange Book of Voodoo Tales by Henry S. Whitehead — Limited Edition Signed by the Editor

The 12th Book in our Past Masters of Horror Series (IV)!

From the Introduction by editor Thomas Tessier

From 1924 to 1932 more than 20 of Henry S. Whitehead’s short stories were first published in the pulp horror magazine Weird Tales, and several others appeared in The Black Mask and Strange Tales. By far, most of his stories are set in the West Indies and illuminate the dark, menacing powers that prevail in the realm of black magic and voodoo. Altogether, his collected stories amount to some 700 pages and constitute a true landmark in the history of horror literature, introducing to the Anglo-American world a whole new culture with its own rich veins of fear and devotion, terror and the precariousness of life. Whitehead’s stories are as vibrant and enthralling today as they were a hundred years ago.
