Based on an acclaimed short story that was nominated for the Bram Stoker
Award, "Darker Angels" takes the reader from the bloodstained
battlefields of Virginia to the slave auctions of Haiti. Walt Whitman,
Abraham Lincoln, Lord Byron, and Marie Leveau, the legendary voodoo
queen of New Orleans, all have a part to play in the epic tale of a
mysterious, one-eyed shaman who dares to raise the dead from the
battlefields of the Civil War.
