Madame Delphine Lalaurie, the True Story

'Mad Madame Lalaurie' by Victoria Cosner Love & Lorelei Shannon is the true historical account of the most maligned murderess in 19th century history.

We have all heard the ghost stories and legends of mutilation and sex change operations, sadistic experiments and many other atrocities the likes of only the imagination.
But sometimes we don't let the facts get in the way of a good story, do we?

For the first time in New Orleans history, Strange True Tours will give the true historical account of the life of Delphine Lalaurie on a walking tour.

Inspired by the efforts of Victoria & Lorelei we can only hope to restore the injustice of time and storytelling to her name and her family.

We will always be indebted to people like Victoria & Lorelei who never give up on the search for the truth, and I thank them.
Long live Madame Delphine Lalaurie!
