Tell My Horse by Zora Neale Hurston

Tell My Horse by Zora Neale Hurston

Based on acclaimed author Zora Neale Hurston's personal experiences in Haiti and Jamaica--where she participated as an initiate rather than just an observer during her visits in the 1930s--Tell My Horse is a fascinating firsthand account of the mysteries of Voodoo. An invaluable resource and remarkable guide to Voodoo practices, rituals, and beliefs, it is a travelogue into a dark, mystical world that offers a vividly authentic picture of ceremonies, customs, and superstitions.

Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960) was a novelist, folklorist, and anthropologist whose fictional and factual depictions of African-American history are unrivaled. Her writings include Barracoon, a New York Times bestseller, as well as her most famous work, the 1937 novel Their Eyes Were Watching God.
