Shiver at the legendary tales of Old New Orleans, such as the Devil Baby of Bourbon Street, who was so ugly people were afraid to be near it; Violette, the Zombie Child, brought back to life using Voodoo by unknowing parents; and Madame Delphine LaLaurie, whose mean demeanor sent a servant to an untimely death. Explore other state haunts including plantation homes, colleges, prisons, and historic landmarks. Meet Marie Laveau, the Voodoo queen whose spirit still walks among the tombstones at Saint Louis Cemetery Number 1. Follow the Honey Island Swamp Monster, a carnivorous, 400-pound aquatic-humanoid, the red-eyed Loup Garou creature, Grunches, and lizard-goats that will make you think twice before going into the swamps alone. Louisiana haunts await you... Are you brave enough to wander in? Book jacket.
