The Third Cry To Legba, And Other Invocations by Manly Wade Wellman
And Other Invocations
A terse, atmospheric collection of tales that draws on folk belief and ritual to bring the uncanny into ordinary lives; its stories mix Southern and Caribbean-inflected magic, conjure spirits and deities, and place ordinary people—preachers, farmers, wanderers—against stubborn, sometimes ambivalent supernatural forces. Evocations of ritual and old-world power generate unease rather than spectacle, and the prose balances earthy regional detail with a darkly humorous, reflective tone as characters confront the moral and practical consequences of summoning things best left alone.
