The Darklands: A Melanesian Experience:

• The book examines the uncanny culture of Melanesia, which is a very unique yet often not talked about region of the world. It also looks at its history starting with its discovery by Captain Cook in the 18^th Century.

• Interwoven throughout the book are some of the author’s adventures while serving as a volunteer archivist throughout the region over the past twelve years.

• The book also utilizes experiences and observations from acclaimed literary authors who have brought the people and the culture of the Melanesia islands to life particularly in the 19^th and 20^th Centuries. 

• Fans of legends, supernatural beings, and haunting places will enjoy delving into the mysterious realms of the sorcerers, cannibals, headhunters and ghosts. 

• The book has an underlining story of how the “Melanesian Way of Life” has been compromised by colonial governments, missionaries, and Europeans who desired to exploit the islands, and the Melanesian people’s struggle to regain some of their traditional beliefs and customs. 

• Written during the Covid-19 pandemic quarantine, the book shares insights on how the world changed from the West to the Melanesian islands.
