Description
In the shadowed crossroads of New Orleans, death wears a top hat and grins with painted teeth. Baron Samedi, guardian of the grave, rises when the veil between the living and the dead begins to rot.
When a grieving widow turns to forbidden rites to see her husband one more time, she believes she is calling back a memory. Instead, she awakens something older and hungrier than grief itself. The drums start first, a low pulse under the city. Then the cemeteries stir, masks come out of storage, and the masquerade of the dead begins to walk beside the living.
Spirits lean in on every whispered bargain. Candles gutter in crypts that should be sealed. As favors are traded and secrets bought, debts pile up in the dark. The Baron is watching, amused and patient, because every promise to the dead carries a price in flesh.
Baron Samedi: The Last Rite is a folkloric horror novel steeped in voodoo myth, New Orleans Gothic atmosphere, and the relentless pull of death's bargain. It weaves street-level superstition with ancestral power, showing how far the living will go to rewrite the past and how tightly the grave holds its due.

As the last rite approaches, the city itself becomes an altar, and the Baron dances ever closer. In New Orleans, no deal with the grave is ever forgotten, and every step toward the dead brings the dead one step closer to you.
