Mardis Gras is a time of celebration, an occasion to lose one's inhibitions, and a time for the devious minds to hide among the crowds. As the party rages on, a pair of police officers notice something isn't right as the happy-go-lucky visitors begin to violently attack each other. As the night goes on, violence turns to murder and the officers search out clues to find out what, or who, is behind the violence. The hot and humid night seems to drag on as the officers utilize good old detective work while they walk the streets, searching out the man known as the Bourbon Street Lucifer, the man behind the night's disturbances. What will happen when they find themselves deep in the midst of the Orleans Occult? How will it end when they finally meet the Bourbon Street Lucifer?

George A. Romero's classic 1968 film, "Night of the Living Dead", introduced a new era of gutmunching cinematic mayhem and inspired legions of directors and writers, among them Quentin Tarantino and George Lucas. John A. Russo co-wrote the screenplay for "Night of the Living Dead" and turned it into two blood-drenched novels, now combined in one gory, chilling volume.
