Here were the witch-doctors and queens, and in particular Doctor John . . . and Marie Laveau."--Kirkus Reviews"Much nonsense has been written about voodoo in New Orleans. . . . Here is a truthful and definitive picture."--Lyle SaxonThe word "voodoo" elicits reactions from fear to fascination, thoughts of pins stuck in dolls, hexes, and strange rites immediately come to mind.
