The Devil Of Black Bayou
"I never feared the darkest parts of the night. I never feared monsters...until I became one."--Antoine Valterre
Would you choose damnation to save the one you loved? Romantically we'd like to say we would. But in the harshness of reality to face an eternal damnation, most would not.
Antoine Valterre had that choice to make. Allow pirates to rape and murder his wife or take the Devil's bargain. He forfeits his soul and he and Marie would be freed from their captors. The problem was the Devil is always in the details.
Antoine's wife Marie is murdered by the Devil and Antoine, as part of his agreed bargain, is transformed into a monster. As the Devil's monster, Antoine can only be re-united with Marie by spilling innocent blood.
Through the haunted streets of New Orleans, in the ghostly shrouded Atchafalaya waterways, and the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico, follow the tale of "The Devil of Black Bayou".
Can a monster find redemption? Will Antoine find lasting peace and be reunited in eternity with his lost love? Shame the Devil and find out.
But be warned when sinking your teeth into Antoine's tale. Sometimes the characters bite back.

Strong literary work based on pirate and vampire folklore set in New Orleans and the surrounding bayous, ocean, and swamps.
