Unrestricted voodoo
20 September 2020
You love body-horror? Werewolf-transformation, and all that? Here it is.

The darkest of voodoo is offered to an honest person, and it turns her inside out. Literaly and metaphoricly too. The pact was oh-so fitting. Offering to be on the highest social regard to a middle-class independent black woman - for the price to at times sink to the lowest class, be a servant. And what followed, was pure, unadulterated voodoo. And sure, there was a r*pe - but who says, a villain can't do that?

This was in contrast to the world of the black drag-queens, where the transformation resulted in something positive, though the look of that class from the general public is something truly monstrous.

The plot otherwise? Well, this series is more like reading a book, it isn't your going from Point A to Point B simple mystery-box Lost. Not to mention you should not forget, this show is more of the '20's blacks lives, than Lovecraft's monsters. But even at that regard, this episode has use: we learn, the pages of The Book are not lost.
