Dead Men Working In The Cane Fields — W.B. Seabrook

A lesser-known figure of America's Lost Generation, Seabrook was a prolific traveller and author. 'Dead Men Working in the Cane Fields' is an excerpt from his 1929 book The Magic Island, a folklore-tinged travelogue about Haiti. Therefore, the stories he reproduces are midway between fact and fiction. Many of these zombie stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
