      The Voodoo Queen: A Novel (Pelican Pouch Series)

      By
      No Customer Reviews

      Witch? Sorceress? Daughter of Satan? Thief? Saint? Born in 1794, Marie Laveau reigned as the undisputed Queen of the Voodoos for nearly a century. Her beauty and powers were legendary, and caused her to be the subject of wild gossip throughout her life. She passed on her secrets to a favorite daughter, who helped her dominate the underworld of voodoo in New Orleans. "It is an absorbing tale, and the emotional undertones, the conflicts in her human relations, the overwhelming loneliness of her position, all come through the story of a strange life." Kirkus Reviews "The author creates a vivid, haunting atmosphere, which (like Marie's arts) holds the reader in spell. . . . an intriguing novel that is competently mounted and exceedingly well executed." New York Times

      The Voodoo Queen

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      Marie Laveau was the greatest American witch and Voodoo Queen there ever was. I admire and love her so much, that I have written several action-packed, fictional, stories about her in my book titled, "Adult Bedtime Stories." Robert Tallants book titled, "The Voodoo Queen," More accurately tells her life story and escapades in old, New Orleans. I Simply Make here into an action heroine. Both books are worth reading. I give...

      The Best Book on New Orleans and Laveau

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      This book is absolutely the most interesting and fascinating story I have ever read concerning the subjects of New Orleans History and Marie Laveau. Tallant is the genius of taking the facts that have been gathered on both subjects and combining them into a novel that you cannot and will not put down. It is a page turner from start to finish. I am currently reading the book for the third time, and I am not a big reader...

      excellent (partly fictional) account of Marie Laveau!

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      Tallant's story about Marie Laveau and her daughter is built upon the research he discloses in his Voodoo in New Orleans book. He transforms these facts and legends about the two women into an excellent, spellbinding novel.
