Moonless Nights and Duppy Frights: An Antiquity of Duppy Stories by Duvaughn Kelly is a chilling collection of Jamaican horror tales rooted in folklore, superstition, and psychological terror. Set across rural districts, haunted houses, and shadowy urban spaces, the stories explore encounters with duppies, Ol' Higue, cursed spirits, and supernatural entities that prey on human weakness. Each narrative blends cultural authenticity with vivid, unsettling imagery, capturing the tension between tradition and modern disbelief. From a fugitive trapped in a sinister, ever-shifting house to children tormented by night visitors and men consumed by greed or obsession, the collection examines fear, morality, and consequence. Kelly's use of Jamaican dialect and setting deepens the realism, immersing readers in a world where the line between the living and the dead is dangerously thin. These stories serve as both cautionary tales and haunting reflections of Caribbean folklore's enduring power.
