Purchase options and add-ons

New Orleans has a reputation as a home for creatures of the night. Popular books, movies and television shows have cemented the city's connection to vampires in public imagination.


Rumors swirled about the fate of the Casket Girls, a group of mysterious maidens traveling to the New World from France with peculiar casket-shaped boxes. A charismatic man who moved to the French Quarter in the early 1900s eerily resembled a European aristocrat of one hundred years prior bearing the same name. A pair of brothers terrorized the town with their desire to feed on living human blood during the Great Depression. Marita Woywod Crandle investigates the origins of these legends so intricately woven through New Orleans's rich history.

Wow! Just wow!!! I just finished Marita's book. I am blown away. Blown away by her kindness for autographing my copy--with the special letter of her experience on the top floor of the Saint Ursuline Convent. Blown away by the celebrity foreword that literally, freaking gave me chills. Blown away by Marita's family lineage. Blown away by the time and effort my friend took to research and approve/disprove vampire fact and fiction in New Orleans. I think I have more questions now than I ever did!If you are an avid vampire fan, as I am, you must read this book. It is so so packed with vital information necessary to the history of vampires in North America, particularly New Orleans. I'm already ready to reread it! Simply fangtastic!

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting read
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2020

I was looking for inspiration and decided to read this book based on vampire tales that originated in New Orleans. I found the stories interesting. I've read quite a few books on vampires, but I'd never heard of these stories about The Casket Girls, Comte De St. Germain, and the Carter Brothers. As I was reading them, I could almost sense the mystery and spookiness of the Quarter. The author's own vampire encounter gave me chills. As an added bonus, there is a bibliography at the end for further reading. Highly recommended for anyone who loves well-researched vampire tales.

Per gli amanti di New Orleans qui trovate tre storie di vampiri (o sospetti tali). Lo consiglio con la copertina rigida, in quanto è molto bello anche da lasciare a vista sulla scrivania!
