Description
The Abominable Mr. Seabrook is a deeply researched and richly detailed biography that delves into the complex life of William Buehler Seabrook, a journalist who popularized the term "zombie" in the West. Through seven years of research, cartoonist Joe Ollmann pieces together Seabrook's peripatetic life, weaving in his own words and those of his biographers to explore the blurred lines between Seabrook the believer and Seabrook the exploiter. Seabrook's life was marked by a series of traveling highs and drunken lows, as he participated in voodoo ceremonies, rode camels across the Sahara desert, and communed with cannibals. Yet, beneath his engaging and sympathetic exterior lay a dark side of obsession with bondage and the mystical properties of pain and degradation. This book offers a nuanced portrayal of Seabrook's life, one that raises important questions about the nature of his experiences and the impact they had on those around him.
