In Eluding Darkness, author Raguel Charles reveals some of the island’s secrets. Growing up in Haiti, Raguelwas quite familiar with voodoo. He was taught to not pick up objects left in the street, to not give a stranger the correct time of day, and to never trust anyone.

Allowed to take part in voodoo ceremonies since he was a young child, he witnessed interactions between the spirits possessing people and their servants. Talked of people turning into animals? Dead people raised up to live as zombie slaves? Casting a spell on an enemy to hurt or kill them? were strange occurrences in Raguel’senvironment.

But Raguel’s journey through Darkness became one of victory. Through a voyage fraught with the ups and downs of moving to the US, learning how to responsibly provide for himself, and living through the agonizing deaths of several family members and friends, Raguel learned the life-giving secret of true power and joy. And, within Eluding Darkness, he shares that secret with you.
