Revisiting a Woman of Haiti

With “Revisiting a Woman of Haiti”, Rafael Menton brings us a revised and extended version of his interracial classic of female-led horror, submission, the inability of science to withstand the metaphysical power of the occult for which it can provide no explanation as he takes us back to 1913, to witness a respected Professor who has been invited to a gathering to witness the “gift” of a young woman visiting from the Caribbean.

A prospect that does not sit well with the cynical and dismissive man of learning.

Nonetheless, the gathering will be hosted by his close friend, Powell, and the knowledge the soiree will be attended by his fiancé and her mother persuades him turn up and witness what is to be an exhibition of mesmerism and mind-control.

Dismissive of the more mystical and magical beliefs, he accepts the challenge of the commanding young woman from the Caribbean to act as her test subject and allows her to try her gift upon him.

It will be a decision he will regret until his dying day, as his privileged life is dismantled about his head and he finds his life in the hands of another… And in the most abject and ignominious of ways!
