Travel beyond Bourbon Street into the macabre history of one of the most haunted cities in the United States with the author of Wicked New Orleans as your guide.   New Orleans--the Big Easy, the birthplace of jazz, home of Cafe du Monde and what some call the most haunted city in America. Beneath the indulgence and revelry of the Crescent City lies a long history of the dark and mysterious. From the famous "Queen of Voodoo," Marie Laveau, who is said to haunt the site of her grave, to the wicked LaLauries, whose true natures were hidden behind elegance and the trappings of high society, New Orleans is filled with spirits of all kinds. Some of the ghosts in these stories have sordid and scandalous histories, while others are friendly specters who simply can't leave their beloved city behind. Join supernatural historian Troy Taylor as he takes readers beyond the French Quarter and shows a side of New Orleans never seen.   Includes photos!… (meer)

I read this book in the Kindle Unlimited program.
I think what I enjoyed most about this book was all the history that is in it. I love ghost stories and this had a number of ghost stories in it. All were interesting. It was the history that the author shared that fascinated me. I’ve not been to New Orleans so I can’t say how accurate the author was. It did make me want to visit Louisiana. ( )

Few cities' annals fascinate the way the long, colorful history of New Orleans does. While there's no shortage of books old or recent detailing New Orleans' twisting, twisted chronicles over the past three centuries, readers interested in the city's eerier side will find much to delight in author Troy Taylor's brief but entertaining book, "Haunted New Orleans." Over the course of 12 chapters in less than 130 pages, Taylor tells some of New Orleans' most famous and infamous ghost stories, and he tells them well. A lot of this material is available in greater detail in other books, but to his credit Taylor does a fine job of introducing tales that for countless years have made the flesh of both the city's residents and its visitors shiver. "Haunted New Orleans" is a solid, informative and often spine-tingling primer for people intrigued by the macabre things that rise up to crawl and creep when sunlight surrenders to nightfall in The Big Easy.
