Résumé
Said to wear the skin of an old woman by day and take the form of a wandering fireball by night - and sucking the blood of her victims - the spectre of the Soucouyant haunts Adele, a Trinidadian Canadian.… Adele is sliding into early-onset dementia when her husband is killed in an industrial accident, and her older son leaves home after Adele ceases to recognize him. Her younger son tries to unravel the hidden tragedies of Adele's youth, which included an encounter with the Soucouyant itself. Some descriptions of sex. Some descriptions of violence. Some strong language. 2007.
