Madame Lalaurie, Mistress of the Haunted House (Long Carolyn Morrow)(Paperback)

'Like all of Carolyn Morrow Long's work, Madame Lalaurie is scrupulously researched. It is difficult to envision anyone producing a more thorough account of Delphine Lalaurie, her family, and the home in which she lived. Fortunately for scholars and popular readers alike, the story of the woman and her misdeeds is a captivating one, and the horror of her crimes is shocking even today. This is Long's best book.'-- Jeffrey E. Anderson, author of Hoodoo, Voodoo, and Conjure: A Handbook

'Explores a pivotal event in a city that drips legends from every pore. In the end, Long reminds us that history has just one indisputable 'truth'--the past was a complex world whose deeds continue to haunt us.'--Elizabeth Shown Mills, author of Isle of Canes 'A page-turner. History, folklore, myth--this book has it all, like almost everything in New Orleans.'--Nathalie
