The Vampire Trilogy and the Celebrity Plays

by Rosary Hartel O'Neill

Overview

Rosary Hartel O'Neill, a seventh-generation New Orleanian, grew up inside the magic and pageantry of New Orleans and has lived there and on the star-studded east and west coasts. The Vampire Trilogy and the Celebrity Plays mines the world of bizarre unreal heroes: vampires grown fierce from fighting. Celebrities proud, tortured, humorous in all their exotic wonderment. The Vampire Trilogy is about love—the delectable kind that smothers you. Rosary takes you to St. Louis Cemetery, far beyond the boundaries of civilized society, and to golden cities where the famous bask in anxious waters. We root for characters as they follow a higher calling, to be different from what circumstances show them to be. As death flings them beyond the boundaries of their known life, we discover the secrets of mortality and why the famous continue to be some of the most fascinating beings in the universe. Love stories with deathly subtexts, the plays, grounded in true events, bring you into a world rarely seen.
