SORRY, TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK Magic with no hold barred! Here is the definitive work on the history, ritual and powers of the ancient art of Voodoo from the earliest times to the present, offering complete details on the closely-kept secrets of man's most exotic and powerful form of magic.

Now for the first time, Robert Pelton has stripped the shroud of secrecy that has always surrounded Voodoo to present detailed instructions on everything from making voodoo dolls to casting hexes, and from warding off evil forces to employing the secrets of voodoo love sorcery. Accompanying the fascinating how-to information on Voodoo
ceremonies, materials and legends is an engrossing history of the art with portraits of
notorious practitioners. The Complete Book of Voodoo is an electrifying introduction to
an exotic art which until now has been reserved only for the initiated. Paperback, 254

Quotes: "Louis Maistros has written a lyrical, complex, and brave novel that takes enormous risks and pulls them all off. He is a writer to watch and keep reading, a writer to cherish." "The Society of North American Magic Realists welcomes its newest, most dazzling member, Louis Maistros. His debut novel is a thing of wonder, unlike anything in our literature. It startles. It stuns. It stupefies. No novel since CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES has done such justice to New Orleans. If Franz Kafka had been able to write like Peter Straub, this might have been the result." “The Sound of Building Coffins is easily one of the finest and truest pieces of New Orleans fiction I've ever read.” “One has to write with considerable authenticity to pull off a story steeped in magic and swamp water that examines race and class, death and rebirth, Haitian voodoo, and the beginnings of jazz in 1891 New Orleans...The plot is complex and magical, grounded in the history of the city, without being overly sentimental. There is a comfort with death as a part of life in this work that reveals deep feeling for the city and its past....Highly recommended for all fiction collections, especially where there is an interest in jazz."
