  • Summary

  • On episode 16 of Our First Fears, NY Times bestseller, Tracey Baptiste reveals the map of her childhood village where her friends and family banded together to protect themselves from jumbies, the creepy creatures that haunt the Caribbean nation, Trinidad and Tobago, in the dark of night. We discuss the secret things that hide inside the stories we write, how tales of monsters help keep people in line and also reveal our biases, and how we writers’ trickster-like powers allow us to dare audiences to fill-in blanks and answer their own questions.

    Tracey’s work encompasses many novels and non-fiction books for both young and adult readers. Her titles include The Jumbies, Rise of the Jumbies, and The Jumbie God’s Revenge, as well as the NY Times Bestseller, Minecraft: The Crash.
