Chindi:
The late 1800's were a time of discovery and at the same time, strife. A prospector is panning for gold with his brother when he strikes a hard object while digging. He believes he has found treasure. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Instead, he's met with an ancient Indian curse. Chindi, the maker of voracious zombies and seeker of revenge.
The book takes place during a time of political unrest, with the civil war raging in another part of the country and the west trying to make peace with the Indians. A fort local to the area is working with an Indian chief to try to destroy Chindi and his mounting zombie hoard. The Indians and the "white man" must join forces to take down this malevolent spirit and save humanity, but can they really trust each other to do the right thing?
Timothy Bryan is a master storyteller. All three of these stories are fascinating and wonderfully written. If you like horror and thrillers then this is the collection for you. It says volume one so I am very much hoping that there will be a volume 2.
