Tell My Horse by Zora Neale Hurston

Tell My Horse by Zora Neale Hurston

"Strikingly dramatic, yet simple and unrestrained . . . an unusual and intensely interesting book richly packed with strange information."

--New York Times Book Review

Based on Zora Neale Hurston's personal experiences in Haiti and Jamaica, where she participated as an initiate rather than just an observer of voodoo practices during her visits in the 1930s, this travelogue into a dark world paints a vividly authentic picture of the ceremonies, customs, and superstitions of voodoo.

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.
