The Serpent and the Rainbow
by Wade Davis
After reading the Wayfinders by Wade Davis I saw that he also wrote the Serpent and the Rainbow - a movie I remembered from my teen years that scared the crap out of me about vodoo in Haiti. The movie was directed by the iconic horror genius Wes Craven so it had a lot of thematic elements thrown in to traumatize movie goers. The book however was not nearly as traumatic and nothing like the movie - it an interesting anthropological novel that reads like an Indiana Jones adventure novel. Davis provides a very interesting and entertaining look into the history and culture of Hatian vodoo. One of the best anthropology books I have read!!
