The Invisibles

Francis Huxley

Rupert Hart Davis, UK. 1966. First edition hardcover. Corner clipped on dust jacket, which shows some light wear. A few creases to the dust jacket and text. Corner ding to the cover. A very good copy.

An intriguing dive into the world of Haitian voodoo by storied anthropologist Francis Huxley. Like all the best anthropology, Huxley takes us down to the level of the practitioner, relaying stories of his time in ceremony, and during the more mundane times between.Haunting imagery of true spirit possession throughout, with my favorite chapter being "My Friends are the Dead". This is the quite rare first English edition.

You may not believe in the Loa, but they believe in you.
