    Vudu Cartography: The Autobiography of Michael Houdeaux by Michael Bertiaux, published in 2010. “Vudu Cartography explores the mysteries of Les Vudu through chants, oracles, seances and a symbolic system of images-all connected by a descriptive narrative which leads us, like a dusty highway, through the shimmering landscape. Drawn from his rich experiences in Haiti, Bertaiuxs own evocative coudon art brut creates a map for those regions of invisible power, giving the reader strange ingress to the mysteries and hiddenness of an exotic theology, which it’s spiritist twists and turns and esoteric spaces.” Hardcover with original jacket in new condition with only the lightest shelfwear from being shelved.
