Children of the Night: Louisiana's Living Vampires: True Stories from the Shadow World of New Orleans (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798232208950)

What if the vampire stories whispered in New Orleans' darkest corners aren't stories at all?

In the sultry depths of Louisiana's most haunted city, where voodoo queens once ruled and the dead refuse to rest, investigative journalist David G. Stone uncovers a terrifying reality: some of New Orleans' most infamous "legends" are actually documented cases with police reports, witness testimonies, and evidence that defies rational explanation.

REAL VAMPIRES. REAL VICTIMS. REAL TERROR.

Inside this chilling investigation, you'll discover:

✓ The Jacques St. Germain Case - How a mysterious aristocrat hosted elaborate parties, never aged, and kept bottled human blood in his Royal Street mansion

✓ The Carter Brothers Murders - Depression-era serial killers who drank their victims' blood and reportedly returned from execution to continue their reign of terror

✓ The Casket Girls Mystery - French colonial brides whose dowries vanished overnight, leading church officials to nail their coffins shut and declare them creatures of darkness

✓ Modern Blood Drinkers - Contemporary New Orleans residents living fully vampiric lifestyles, including documented medical anomalies

✓ Suppressed Police Records - Three centuries of unexplained deaths, missing persons, and incidents the authorities can't-or won't-explain

✓ Eyewitness Accounts - First-hand testimonies from locals who've encountered things that shouldn't exist

This isn't your typical paranormal tourist guide. Stone spent years accessing restricted archives, interviewing reluctant witnesses, and investigating locations where others fear to tread. What he discovered will forever change how you view the thin veil between myth and reality in America's most supernatural city.
