Gris Gris and Juju: A New Orleans Horror Lagniappe
New Orleans native and horror writer K. Banning Kellum brings 12 tales of terror to his anthology, Gris-Gris and Juju, inspired by his beloved Crescent City. Should you choose to take this journey into Kellum's world of twisted and morbid delights, be prepared to experience sides of The Big Easy not found on any travel brochures. Perhaps a trip to the roasting pits of hell of a few cocktails? Perhaps you'd prefer to gaze longingly at your reflection... just make sure it's still your face looking back. Oh, that old church down the winding dirt road? The one everyone claims is full of strange cultists, the one where screams and strange lights can all be observed coming from the highest windows during the wee hours, sure, let's go! In the mood for a trip to a distant future where mysterious figures tamper with the very fabric of our daily lives? It's all there and more! So leave the cheap plastic beads behind. This collection of terror isn't going to take you on a fun filled night on Bourbon Street. The roads contained within these pages tend to lead to much darker, hotter and lonelier places.

SpOoOoOky! Some of the stories were kinda cheesy but most were pretty good! Dinner with Vivianna had me cracking up at the end! 😂 I definitely prefer the writing from third person POV. The first person stuff kinda made me cringe. (Maybe that's just me) Overall it was very entertaining.

2.5stars rounded up because I really liked some of the concepts of the stories!
Overall it was just ok, I liked some stories more than others. I did like the New Orleans setting, and found a lot of the stories to be novel concepts.

Great Read!
Wonderful writing! The stories are fun yet dark. I love the New Orleans setting as I’m from Louisiana. Worth the read!
