Sorghum and the Soucouyant: An Interview with Dr. Giselle Liza Anatol

Sorghum and the Soucouyant: An Interview with Dr. Giselle Liza Anatol

Kevin Healey

After learning of SORGHUM’s use in warding away a Jamaican vampire that had to tear off its skin before sucking your blood, I went on a botanical detour to learn more about this ancient folk tale by interviewing Dr. Giselle Anatol, the worlds’ leading expert on the matter. Dr. Anatol is a professor and author of the book, The Things That Fly in the Night: Female Vampires in Literature of the Circum-Caribbean and African Diaspora.
