When her grave is soon discovered empty, our protagonist Patrick becomes obsessed with traditional zombie folklore in an attempt to find the undead woman he loves, as well as understand how to tell the history of his home. When the beauty of the town, Hadriana, a white French woman, suddenly collapses and appears to die at the altar, clashing community faiths threaten to jeopardize her funeral rites. However, underneath all of the Carnival scenes and NSFW content, there lies a morbid, haunting tale about decolonisation and autonomy. This Haitian horror novel, translated from French, is a vibrant celebration of life, which will definitely lure you into a false sense of whimsy.
