Description
New Orleans Vampires: History and Legend by Marita Woywod Crandle The city of New Orleans has long been associated with the supernatural, and one of its most enduring legends is that of the vampire. From the early days of Louisiana's colonization, rumors have circulated about mysterious maidens and charismatic figures with a taste for the blood of the living. This book delves into the origins of these legends, exploring the rich history and folklore of the city. Crandle investigates the stories of the Casket Girls, a group of maidens who traveled to the New World with casket-shaped boxes, and the charismatic man who eerily resembled a European aristocrat from a century prior. She also examines the legend of two brothers who terrorized the town during the Great Depression, feeding on the blood of the living. By examining these stories, Crandle sheds light on the darker side of New Orleans's history and the ways in which its rich cultural heritage has been shaped by myth and legend. Through her research, Crandle reveals the complex and often contradictory nature of vampire lore in New Orleans, and how it reflects the city's unique cultural and historical context.
