Whitehead, Henry S - Little Orange Book Voodoo Tales

Edited by Thomas Tessier.
The opening story, “Jumbee”, is sprinkled with errors. Typos, misplaced commas, periods, etc …
I envisioned the galleys lined on a wall, while a child with a magical editing spray gun, peppered the pages with spaces, commas, colons, in giggling, festive exuberance.
The proofing of these “Little” books seems more haphazard, depending on the diligence of the editor.
Nevertheless, this is an atmospheric juicy selection of voodoo yarns.
Perhaps mostly desirable for those seeking Mr Tessier’s signature.
