Talk:Pigeons from Hell

"Finally he tells how Joan participated in voodoo rites." I believe this is incorrect. Jacob never says that he Joan participates in Voodoo rights but seems only to imply that she knew he made zuvembies and asked for the formula. When Jacob says "She had danced in the Black Ceremony -- she was ripe to become a zuvembie -- the Black Brew was all that was needed -- the other was beautiful -- I could not refuse her." "She" refers to the victim ( celia.) "the other" was presumably Joan pettitioning for the brew. This is made explicit at the end of the story when Buckner recognizes Celia and says "Yet what a bestial nature she must have had, in the beginnin', to delve into voodoo as she must have done -- -- -- " and then goes on to explain that they had misunderstood Jacob.

It's a minor nit-pick and the characters did understand it the same way you explain it, but Jacob never says Joan participated in the voodoo rites. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.191.151.75 (talk) 05:38, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
