The author’s impressions of New Orleans and the teachings of voodoo formed the basis of the ominous and attractive Baton Noir, in the neon streets of which both musicians and spirits with vampires roam. Horror, detective, dark fantasy and the atmosphere of voodoo magic are woven together in this stunning novel, which in its first weeks entered the list of the best Young Adult horror films abroad. A novel by Alex Bell, the author of many talents and passions. As a child, she dreamed of different things — either to train dolphins, then to work in a veterinary clinic, or to become a lawyer. The last dream almost came true: Alex had almost unlearned to become a lawyer, when suddenly her life took a sharp turn: the girl found herself in writing. Mystical stories are Alex’s real passion, because in her life, in her words, “there was plenty of blood, death, madness and murder. What the doctor ordered, when you are young, you believe in your own exclusivity and immortality, you spit on the authorities and generally live by the principle “take me as I am”. Abstract There are no angels in Baton Noir. But demons live here.
