Then there are Zombies, the soulless living dead, whose reanimated corpses are sprung from graves at midnight to mindlessly serve the summoning voodoo houngan. Edited by distinguished anthologist John Richard Stephens, this voodoo miscellany features harrowing horror classics by H. G. Wells, H. Rider Haggard, and Robe rt Louis Stevenson, as well as little~known tales of voodoo hoodoo by forgotten fantasy masters, Also included are newspaper accounts of genuine voodoo festivals in the Louisiana bayou and a series of purported "voodoo axe murders," all of which delve into voodoo's darkest mysteries, from its birthplace in the jungles of Africa to its practice in the islands of the Caribbean and the dark swamps of Louisiana.

In fact some popes from the past acted so horridly that they were more like tyrants or despots, ruling with an iron fist rather than a sacred heart. Many popes from earlier times wielded power as though they were monarchs~and just as many monarchies have histories full of intrigues, subterfuges, and sordid doings, so too does the Vatican. Unholy Popes presents a comic cavalcade of some of the most unsavory clerics and perverse prelates to sit in St. Peter's chair. It presents amazing accounts of popes who turned the Vatican into a brothel, murdered their opponents, resorted to bribery and racketeering, and broke as many commandments as they could. While some were downright wicked, most were incompetents who simply were unfit for the job. Among the popes on parade here: ~The Holy Father who may have been a woman! ~The pope who was not Catholic! ~ The pope who was probably dead for most of his reign! ~ This historically accurate but humorous volume identifies each controversial pope and details his unorthodox behavior. Unholy Popes strips the papacy of pomp and circumstance, and provides a unique and entertaining tour of the (un)Holy See. [Note: this book has a defective isbn # that is for a different book]. …
