The Legend of Victor Standish

The Legend of Victor Standish

Roland Yeomans
0/5 ( ratings)
Welcome to New Orleans, the most haunted city in America. In this dark fantasy, horror lurks in the shadows of the French Quarter. No Young Adult best seller had a more resourceful teen than Victor Standish. No supernatural thriller had a more deadly femme fatale than the ghoul, Alice Wentworth.

Death is in the night air as Voodoo mingles with the refrains of jazz coming from the haunted night club, Meilori’s. Hurricane Katrina boils in the gulf. Supernatural predators plot to take advantage of the coming storm and its terrible devastation.

To this site of coming apocalypse comes the street kid, Victor Standish. His mother, who is the blood and bone of his life, treats him like a yo-yo.

She abandons him on harsh city streets, only to reclaim him months later to dump him in yet another city states away. Her sole explanation is the back of her hand across Victor’s mouth.

New Orleans is the seventh city and looks to be the last. The haunted French Quarter is deadlier than anything Victor’s ever encountered. He smiles. Finally the fear and loneliness will end. And they do … just not in the way he expected.

An old derelict feels beautiful once more in Victor’s eyes. A disillusioned jazz club owner finds something worth living, worth dying for. An undead priest learns to laugh again. A gypsy nun finds a new son to fill the void left by her long dead boy.

And one dark midnight in a cursed cemetery, Victor finds love. It is the old

Boy meets ghoul. Boy loses heart to ghoul. Ghoul wants not just his heart but the rest of his body … until the ghoul, Alice Wentworth, realizes she sees a kindred lost soul in Victor.

She can always find flesh to feed her body, but will she ever find another boy who sees in her more than just a monster? Their love breaks the chain of reason … which matters not at all to Victor since life never made sense to him anyway. What matters is that their love threatens the plots of the feuding supernatural clans in New Orleans.

And as Hurricane Katrina nears, it seems their only hope is the love that dooms them.
