More than ten thousand years ago, a race called the Bitalo conquered the continent of Africa. They were something like vampires, something like African vampires. There is a quite a bit of sunshine in Africa. Do you know what that means? It means that the African vampires do not fear the sun. It means that the sun cannot save you from an African vampire. There are African vampires in the United States. They came to this country during the slave trade. Most of them look like ordinary African American people, but there are Bitalos in every race. African vampires do not like blood that much. To them it is like milk—good for their health. Some call them cannibal vampires or ghoul vampires because their main food is people. They like their food prepared in many ways—fried, baked, barbequed, and ground like hamburgers. There are quite a few African vampires in the United States. Now they are planning to take over the United States. Somebody has got to stop them. John Irungu has killed quite a few Bitalos, but he is a very old man now, and he is becoming senile. Also, there would seem to be very few Irungu Knights left. But John Irungu has a much younger friend named John David Hunter, also known as the Preacher. The preacher just might be a natural-born Irungu Knight. He just might be the Chosen One. Bitalo prophecy warns them of the coming of a man who could destroy them. He would be a descendant of Curtis Jore, the man of war, the man who destroyed their ancient vampire. Could this preacher be the Chosen One?

My name is Ammanuel Tilahun, and I've got one hell of a story to share with you. I was born in 1298 A.D. in the City of Gondar, Ethiopia. In 1319, my father Adam Tilahun, a Knight of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, went out to fight the Vampires who invaded East Africa and returned as one of them. Papa turned me into a Vampire, and I've roamed the world as an Immortal blood drinker ever since. In 1987 in the City of Montreal, Quebec, I met college student and Haitian church leader Esther Polydor, and fell in love with her. I made her into a Vampire. The transformation changed Esther for the worst, and I had to stop her. Now, three decades later, Esther is back, and gunning for me and everyone I care about. An angry woman who absolutely cannot die, that's who I must now face. Heaven help me...

During the colonial period, Africans told each other terrifying rumors that Africans who worked for white colonists captured unwary residents and took their blood. In colonial Tanganyika, for example, Africans were said to be captured by these agents of colonialism and hung upside down, their throats cut so their blood drained into huge buckets. In Kampala, the police were said to abduct Africans and keep them in pits, where their blood was sucked. Luise White presents and interprets vampire stories from East and Central Africa as a way of understanding the world as the storytellers did. Using gossip and rumor as historical sources in their own right, she assesses the place of such evidence, oral and written, in historical reconstruction. White conducted more than 130 interviews for this book and did research in Kenya, Uganda, and Zambia. In addition to presenting powerful, vivid stories that Africans told to describe colonial power, the book presents an original epistemological inquiry into the nature of historical truth and memory, and into their relationship to the writing of history.

In ancient times, the legendary Somali warrior known as Queen Arawelo led an uprising against the Old Order, deposed her tyrannical and short-tempered husband King Abdi and became sole ruler of Somalia. In ancient Africa, such a bold move was unprecedented. Queen Arawelo challenged tribal law, outlawed rape, punished criminals and battled the power of tyrants. Queen Arawelo also created the Dhagig Askari, the first all-female army on the continent of Africa. In those days, just like today, the idea of women's rule disturbed and frightened many men. Some of the Somali princes built an army to remove Queen Arawelo, forcing her to defend her fledgling domain. Watching all this from afar is the legendary Vampire Samatar, an ancient being who typically avoids entanglements with mortals. The Vampire Samatar has fallen in love with Queen Arawelo and offers her Immortality. The defiant African warrior-queen must choose between her own life and the soul of a beleaguered, stoic African nation. Whatever Queen Arawelo decides, the world will never be the same. These are her stories.

The Things That Fly in the Night explores images of vampirism in Caribbean and African diasporic folk traditions and in contemporary fiction. Giselle Liza Anatol focuses on the figure of the soucouyant, or Old Hag—an aged woman by day who sheds her skin during night’s darkest hours in order to fly about her community and suck the blood of her unwitting victims. In contrast to the glitz, glamour, and seductiveness of conventional depictions of the European vampire, the soucouyant triggers unease about old age and female power. Tracing relevant folklore through the English- and French-speaking Caribbean, the U.S. Deep South, and parts of West Africa, Anatol shows how tales of the nocturnal female bloodsuckers not only entertain and encourage obedience in pre-adolescent listeners, but also work to instill particular values about women’s “proper” place and behaviors in society at large. Alongside traditional legends, Anatol considers the explosion of soucouyant and other vampire narratives among writers of Caribbean and African heritage who in the past twenty years have rejected the demonic image of the character and used her instead to urge for female mobility, racial and cultural empowerment, and anti colonial resistance. Texts include work by authors as diverse as Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison, U.S. National Book Award winner Edwidge Danticat, and science fiction/fantasy writers Octavia Butler and Nalo Hopkinson.
