HELL HATH NO FURY 1: LEGACY OF EVIL

THE MYSTERY AND MADNESS OF DELPHINE LALAURIE



In 1800s New Orleans, there existed a house in the French Quarter that was known simply as "The Haunted House." No further description was needed for local residents. They knew exactly what house was being talked about -- the Lalaurie Mansion. The dark tales of the house dated back to April 1834, when a fire broke out and revealed the madness of the home's owner, Delphine Lalaurie, the daughter of one of the city's most prominent Creole families. The horror uncovered in the house's attic, shocked the city and created a legend that has endured for more than two centuries. The cruelty and sadistic nature of Madame Lalaurie left an indelible impression on her fomer home and the city of New Orleans, where her name is still whispered today. Author Troy Taylor, who has a number of books about New Orleans among his many works, uncovers the true story of Delphine Lalaurie, her connections to New Orleans and the story behind the terrible events that occurred in 1834. With new research, newspapers and accounts at his disposal, he reveals more about the Lalauries in this new book than he has ever written before. Read this one with the lights on!
