The tale of the New Orlean’s Axeman is a spooky one! At the conclusion of the 1919 Spanish Flu, a murderer crept through the streets causing mass hysteria. And apparently, he loved jazz music. He wrote an op-ed to the Times-Picayune addressing the townsfolk of New Orleans, instructing each and every one of them, to play jazz music and life would be spared.
Axeman delves into the psychology of making a profit off human suffering and an exploration of the American Dream.
