MNZ: Discover April 2008

Another library free bin score, and the cover promised a story about zombies. Except I didn't remember the name of the guy who did The Serpent and the Rainbow shit, which was a great book, but reading him be a "I earn the trust of the indigenous locals and then they show me their ancient secrets and I bring them back to all of us and wear a funny hat and perpetuate a masculine yet understanding adventure seeking professorial persona" about it ruined it all for me. The voodoo, the South American hallucinogenic mushroom rituals, all of it. When you are taking mind-altering substances and learning zombie arts, why would you get all pretentious about it? Shit, I wouldn't share my findings with no one, unless "performing mind altering rituals with my army of the resurrected dead to creepy crawl through federal government buildings of import" would be considered sharing my findings.
