New Orleans History of Vampires takes a look at New Orleans' reputation as a home for creatures of the night. In the early days of Louisiana’s colonization, rumors swirled about the fate of the Casket Girls, a group of mysterious maidens traveling to the New World from France with peculiar casket-shaped boxes. A charismatic man who moved to the French Quarter in the early 1900s eerily resembled a European aristocrat of two hundred years prior bearing the same name. A pair of brothers terrorized the town with their desire to feed on living human blood during the Great Depression. In this book, Crandle investigates the origins of these legends so intricately woven through New Orleans’ rich history.

Mosquito-Southern Vampires, a penny dreadful by Marita Woywod Candle, recipes by Chris Dunn. A Taste of the Supernatural
New Orleans is filled with mysteries and legends. Ghosts that haunt our city, the Rougarou, a werewolf like creature that dwells in the swamps, and vampires. Maidens who were sent from France in 1721 to help colonize the city but were mysteriously turned to vampires on the ship before their arrival. There are also witches - witches with remedies and those with curses.
They say New Orleans is a melting pot of cultures. If one delves deep into this melting pot, they may just find the supernatural pulling them in deeper still until the food tastes like their favorite memories of home cooking, the unexpected becomes main place, and the sharp pain on their neck has them lusting and longing for their lover.
Mosquito – Southern Vampires, which was originally released one chapter at a time, as a Penny Dreadful, is a melting pot of the supernatural. To help create an immersive, mystical experience, at the end of each chapter is a recipe from The New Orleans Vampire Café or The Vampire Apothecary, both located in the mysterious beating heart of the old French Quarter.

MOSQUITO II
Running from vampires ,and former lovers, Jake finds himself in Texas where he discovers he’s not just a magnet for mayhem, he’s also a beacon for vampires no matter what state he’s in. But the supernatural word of the French Quarter sucks Jake Campbell back in just as quickly as it had spit him out. Now he must team up with two unusual vampire hunters—against his better judgement—and the three head back to New Orleans to put an end to the Casket Girls, who Jake believes are still held captive in the convent attic. While it may seem like Jake has things under control, he finds he should never underestimate vampires. Or scorned women.
