Ici Repose: A Guide to St. Louis Cemetery No. 2, Square 3

By: Karen Joan Kohoutek

Ici Repose is a comprehensive visual guide to the tombs in New Orleans' historic, predominantly African-American St. Louis Cemetery #2, Square 3. This includes society and organization tombs (religious orders among them), and missing tombs. Each row within the cemetery is prefaced with a "you are here" map, which allows you to walk down the row, finding the names associated with each tomb, based on publicly available information which has been correlated and cross-referenced. Within the rows, there is a photo of each tomb, along with its tombstone inscriptions and historical and biographical notations. There are also translations of French inscriptions; a list of tombs that can be identified as the work of a particular stone cutter; a section on the Square's wall vaults; and discussion of the discrepancies that have cropped up between the different sources.

The Jack-o-Lantern Box

By: Karen Joan Kohoutek

Did a killer named Johnny the Hangman once lurk in the cemetery? Do cultists plan to sacrifice a trick-or-treater on Halloween night? Are their parents witches? It's all pretty unlikely, but between the kids at the playground, and her cynical big sister's way with a scary story, Jessy doesn't know what to believe. Fortunately, it's the spookier the better for her and her best friend Karma, as they get ready for their favorite night of the year, in this nostalgic but clear-eyed look at a small-town Halloween. This Halloween ""stocking stuffer"" is about kids, but suitable for adults.
