When a ten-year-old boy is invited to attend a big fight that attracts cockfighters and gamblers from all over the area to a pit in Carencro, he is so excited that he barely sleeps a wink the night before. But can the tender-hearted boy come to grips with the consequences that come with a cockfight surrounded by Old South voodoo rituals? In a collection of short tales, Jesse Wimberly once again leads others on an imaginary journey through horror and the supernatural world as he introduces diverse characters, each experiencing seemingly unimaginable events. When the police chief of New Orleans receives word that the bloody body of a young woman has been found in the street, he begins an investigation that leads him down a dark path that leaves him with more questions than answers. When Esther’s boyfriend breaks up with her just before her high school prom, she commisions help from her hairdresser—and two voodoo dolls—to instigate a vengeful plan. Louisiana Ghost Stories III shares ten more chilling, macabre tales of horror from a master storyteller.

Louisiana Ghost Stories

Tales of the Supernatural from the Bayou State

By: Jesse L. Wimberly

Louisiana is a place of legend, especially in the deep, dark bayou. Visit the swamps, and smell the usual combination of decaying vegetation and sluggish water. You might sense another smell, too—one you can’t identify but seems distinct. It could be more of a feeling than an odor. That feeling is fear, and it spreads past the bayou and into the heart of New Orleans. Louisiana Ghost Stories is a collection of original tales based on fact mixed with myth. A place of legend, the state is also a place of storytelling, and many of those stories grow like thick vines in the memories of locals and visitors alike. Step into the haunted plantations. Hear about voodoo and gris gris. Examine pirate legends, and follow ghosts into the dark. Come face to face with the Cajun werewolf, known as the “loup garou.” Hear of the heinous offenses of infamous serial killer, the Axeman. Learn the horrid history of the LaLaurie mansion, and even stumble upon a tale of Hallow’s Eve. With stories eerie, mysterious, sexy, and colorful, prepare yourself to be scared as legends come to life and haunt the page.

By: Jesse Wimberly

A week after Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana attorney Jeb Stuart Johnston is asked to arrange bail for Dr. Rachel Favret, daughter of an influential New Orleans businessman. Jeb has no problem getting her out of jail, but when he discovers she’s a material witness to a police-involved shooting, things take a dark turn. Rachel witnessed a confrontation between NOPD and a street gang which was really just a murder and robbery by the police. The tactical squad involved was already under investigation by internal affairs. Now, it’s suspected that they used the hurricane as a cover for the murder. Jeb and Rachel are forced to flee to Jeb’s ancestral home, rural Tensas Parish, when it becomes apparent these dirty cops are intent on eliminating all witnesses. Back home at Promised Land, Jeb just wants to keep Rachel safe, but he can’t ignore the old issues of race and privilege that still simmer beneath the surface in his home parish. They may have fled the devastation and danger of New Orleans, but Jeb and Rachel are in no way safe yet.
