"Some legends refuse to die because they're not legends at all..."

Deep in the shadowy streets of New Orleans, where Spanish moss drapes like funeral shrouds and the line between the living and dead blurs with each sunset, something sinister lurks just beyond the tourist façade.

Children of the Night exposes the chilling truth behind Louisiana's most terrifying vampire cases-real people, real incidents, real blood. From the mysterious Jacques St. Germain who vanished after leaping from a second-story window to the Carter Brothers whose execution couldn't keep them in their graves, investigative author David G. Stone unearths police reports, witness testimonies, and evidence that will make you question everything you thought you knew about the impossible.

This isn't Hollywood fiction. These are documented cases.

Travel beyond the ghost tours and into the authentic darkness that has made New Orleans America's most vampire-plagued city. Some residents of the French Quarter cast no reflection-and leave no trace except the bodies they leave behind.
