Meet Kincaid Strange. She’s not your average voodoo practitioner…
For starters, she’s only twenty-seven, and living in rain-soaked Seattle, which is not exactly Haiti. Also, she’s broke. With raising zombies outlawed throughout the continental USA, Kincaid has to eke out a living running seances for university students with more money than brains who are desperate for guitar lessons with the ghost of a Seattle grunge rocker—who happens to be Kincaid’s on-again, off-again roommate.
Then a stray zombie turns up outside her neighbourhood bar: Cameron Wight, an up-and-coming visual artist with no recollection of how he died or who raised him. Not only is it dangerous for Kincaid to be caught with an unauthorized zombie, she soon realizes he’s tied to a spate of murders: someone is targeting the zombies and voodoo practitioners in Seattle’s infamous Underground City, a paranormal hub. When the police refuse to investigate, the City’s oldest and foremost zombie asks Kincaid to help. Raising ghosts and zombies is one thing, but finding a murderer? She’s broke, but she’s not stupid.
And then she becomes the target…As the saying goes, when it rains it pours, especially in Seattle.

GREAT PROTAGONIST: Kincaid is a kick-ass heroine who gives Kelley Armstrong’s fierce and funny werewolf Elena a run for her money.
FABULOUS SETTING: Seattle is dripping in rain and atmosphere, and the Underground City, constructed out of the ruins of Seattle’s great fire, and filled with zombies who first walked the streets in the 1800s, beautifully taps into and plays with the city’s history of gold rushes, Chinese immigration, prostitutes and night life.
BOOK TWO: Lipstick Voodoo publishes in June 2019, so readers won’t have to wait long. Plus, there’s a sneak peek of Lipstick Voodoo added to this edition of The Voodoo Killings! + US export

“Kristi Charish grabs the zombie novel by the throat and drags it back to square one, creating a voodoo zombie mystery that is a fresh and fantastic take on a whole genre. A must read!” —Peter Clines, author of The Fold, 14 and the Ex-Heroes series
“What a rush! Highly entertaining, original, and brimming with wit—and zombies in closets—I loved The Voodoo Killings. Can’t wait for the next!” —Julie E. Czerneda, author of This Gulf of Time and Stars
