The Phantom of the Great House is a Gothic play, set in Grenada, with a sub-genre categorised as a psychological thriller. Based on the iconic Great House in the Caribbean, the story combines elements of horror, romance, mystery, seduction, murder, suspense, debauchery, lust, obeah, brutality, zombies, love/lust, treachery, the role of the incubus, madness, the morally corrupt white Planter, and the Great House, as a haunted space. Psychic fear is explored from different perspectives: as the subliminal horrors and dangers of the Caribbean physical landscape; the history of the island that haunts its people; operating socially and culturally as a belief system, and as real haunting, by those who witness the horrific events in the Great House.  Thompson''s writing, whether Novel, Short stories, Poetry or Plays, continue to address the liminal status of the Caribbean in a post-colonial, post-modernist context. In this Play, she explores the complexities of the colonial legacy; presenting the epistemological effects of colonization that inform her work. Identifying as a Caribbean writer, Roselle Thompson uses her art to delve into some of the deep colonial damage on the psyche of the people, their cultural heritages, and their resultant discourse and thinking. Therefore, this play''s themes include the colonial burden on succeeding generations, fragmentation of Caribbean identity, and the role of the Caribbean Writer, in a post-colonial epoch; as being instrumental in either directing or redirecting society.

In The New Caribbean Folktales and Legends for the 21st Century, this author resurrects Caribbean folkloric characters to create modern tales which have originated from the folktales of the Caribbean. By doing so, it historicises their ancestral linkages and transmits their continued relevance to our present dominant, scientific and technological epoch; which at times, appears to overshadow the simplicity and potency of the folk lore today. Written with a didactic purpose, the new 21st century Caribbean tales have a similar function; paying homage to the age-old body of folk knowledge, practices, traditions and beliefs that have been the cultural mainstay of the Caribbean region's indigenous people, right from the start.In our rapidly changing environment, with changing public expectations and behaviour, this book sets out to embrace new ways of acquainting existing and potential audiences/readers with Caribbean Folktales and Legends, in ways that are considered audience-focused and thought-provoking; in order to keep interest in these cultural stabilisers alive.This book is a must read for any student wishing to understand the background to Caribbean writings within the Caribbean Canon and for anyone who's interested in Language, Lore and Cultural Traditions.
