The Country of the Comers-Back

Lafcadio Hearns "non-fiction" article was originally published by Harpers Magazine in 1889. Detailing skulduggery and supernatural phenomenon on the island of Mozambique, The Country of the Comers-Back marked the first mention of the zombie in Western literature. 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.
