Voodoo Tales: The Ghost Stories of Henry S Whitehead

‘And behind him, like a misshapen black frog, bounded the Thing, its red

tongue lolling out of its gash of a mouth, its diminutive blubbery lips

drawn back in a murderous snarl…’

Let Henry S. Whitehead take you into the mysterious and macabre world of

voodoo where beasts invade the mind of man and where lives of the

living are racked by the spirits of the dead. In this collection of rare

and out of print stories you will encounter the curses of the great

Guinea-Snake, the Sheen, the weredog whose very touch means certain

death, the curious tale of the ‘magicked’ mirror, and fiendish manikins

who make life a living hell. Included in this festival of shivering fear

is the remarkable narrative ‘Williamson’ which every editor who read

the story shied away from publishing.

With deceptive simplicity and chilling realism, Whitehead’s Voodoo Tales are amongst the most frightening ever written.
