Damien D'Enfer

Damien D’Enfer was born a Scorpio under a blue moon in 1976 New Orleans. His mother, an fifth generation descendent of Marie Laveau, told him such children “have powers ten-fold over the rest and are usually witches and warlocks.” It was a belief she held firmly to until her death in 2005.

Damien has dabbled in many trades, from Bourbon Street go-go boy (if you ever meet him, ask him to show you the trick with the washcloth), to hot dog cart-repairer, to several stints in both the Merchant Marines and the Orleans Parish House of Detention. (The latter was more fun than the former, Damien says). Damien has had a colorful life, seen the world and less importantly, written for a variety of magazines, his favorite being as a film reviewer for Hustler, writing under the pseudonym Veronica Black.
