   Nice collection of horror and supernatural stories set in New Orleans during the Carnival Season. I especially liked that almost all of the stories NEEDED to have that setting and that the majority of the authors had at least a decent understanding of "Mardi Gras culture." Favorites were "Sacrifice" (Jane Lindskold), "King Corpus" (Bruce Holland Rogers), and "Skeleton Krewe" (Nancy Holder). The other stories were enjoyable, although Peter Crowther's "Songs of Leaving" was "meh" and didn't really Nice collection of horror and supernatural stories set in New Orleans during the Carnival Season.

The other stories were enjoyable, although Peter Crowther's "Songs of Leaving" was "meh" and didn't really have a New Orleans feel to it. Minor criticisms: Most of the stories' treatment of voodoo was rather pulpy and Charles de Lint's "Masking Indian" described three people making a full Indian "suit" in a week and a half - without magic, that's not happening. 3.5 stars.

   Michelle West's story is about a woman who lost her husband and son. One day she met a stranger in the cemetery next to her family's tombs and he gave her an invitation for a party during Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
