Ann Rice brought vampires to life for many of us and I myself have walked the French Quarter of New Orleans late at night trying to catch a glimpse of the shadow that I could see just ahead of me as I walked along.

If you visit those places on a foggy dark night you can believe that if there is any place on earth where vampires exist it would be in New Orleans.
