Everything we know about zombies is a lie. Wade Davis, a young ethnobotanist, arrives in Haiti in the early 1980s, tasked by his supervisor with obtaining and transporting a zombification drug for further pharmacological research. The book's revelations surrounding this sinister practice, including encounters and conversations with zombified individuals, sorcerers specializing in poisons and narcotics, descriptions of Haitian history, research sessions in libraries and laboratories, horse races with the Tonton Macoutes, and nocturnal grave-digging—all of this makes The Serpent and the Rainbow—and these are not just anyone, but the main characters of the cosmogonic myth of the Vodun cult—an outstanding example of adventure anthropology.
