Yahoo—Skinwalkers, steppin' razors, hellhounds, guijé, lwa, zombé, ciciriku, needlemen…is there no end to the invisible world? While all about us in soporific splendor, mortals quake in phantasmagoraphobia, those who have been to the crossroads or are on our way have fine ears for these spooky denizens of twilight and night. I'm damned sick and tired of sulky Euro-trash specters of western ennui and malaise! Give me Cuba, the Antilles, Jamaica and Haiti, Africa, Texas and N'Orleans, Navaholand—give me people pursued by real spooks and I'll show you men and women who live a lively life sleeping always on the border of the Land of the Dead!
