THE VOODOO KILLINGS
A Kincaid Strange Novel
For fans of Kim Harrison, Jim Butcher, Linda Hamilton, Diana Rowland and Carrie Vaughn.
Kincaid Strange isn't your average Voodoo practitioner. For starters, she lives in Seattle.
Since raising zombies has been outlawed throughout the continental USA, Kincaid now ekes out a living running séances up at the University. Students with more money than sense are desperate for guitar lessons with the ghost of a deceased Seattle grunge rocker, who happens to be Kincaid's on-and-off roommate. If she doesn't book enough entertainment séances between now and Halloween to cover rent until Christmas she might as well kiss her apartment good-bye.
Her priorities change when a stray zombie turns up in her neighborhood bar: Cameron Wight, an up-and-coming artist with no recollection of how he died or who raised him.
Adding to her stray zombie problem, the powerful nuisance of a ghost starts tailing Kincaid, convinced she's stolen something of his. A further wrench is thrown in when a brutal serial killer begins targeting zombies and practitioners in Seattle's infamous Underground City, a paranormal hub. When the new police Captain refuses to chase the killer, Kincaid is asked by the City's oldest and foremost zombie to investigate. Raising ghosts and zombies is one thing, but finding a murderer? She's broke, not stupid.
Reluctance aside, Kincaid ends up in the killer's sights and needs to solve the murder spree before she becomes his next victim.
As the saying goes, when it rains it pours - especially in Seattle.
KRISTI CHARISH is also the author of OWL AND THE JAPANESE CIRCUS (January 2015, Simon and Schuster Canada/Pocket Books US), an urban fantasy about a modern-day Indiana Jane who reluctantly navigates the hidden supernatural world. Kristi is also a co-host for the popular Hugo-Nominated Adventures in Sci-Fi Publishing Podcast and has a PhD in Zoology from the University of British Columbia. She's has worked as a scientific advisor on projects such as fantasy and sci-fi writer Diana Rowland's series White Trash Zombie,' and as an expert in community outreach programs. She has been a writing instructor in the UBC Science and Creative Literacy Symposia, and a repeat panellist at the VCON Science Fiction and Fantasy convention. Kristi is also a social media coordinator for the non-profit organization Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology (SCWIST). She is an information translation specialist, who has experience adapting complex science material for both scientific and entertainment media.
