From the Author:
The Religion explores the ritual sacrifice of children to appease the pantheon of voodoo deities, through a misguided practice of Santerķa by characters in the book. This is by no mean accurate, as the practice of Santerķa has never practiced nor condoned the sacrifice of humans, much less children, but the novel depicts the various deities and personas commonly seen in Santerķa, and it attempts to explain the connection between Santerķa and voodoo, including the supportive roles they can play in community.
The novel served as the basis for the 1987 feature film The Believers.[1]
