Description:
" Voodoo Shanghai is a lot of fun. It's a terrific, fast-paced read with a number of surprising twists, a welcome blast of pure reading pleasure. . . . But it's also much more than that. Through Kincaid Strange, Charish chronicles realistic social and personal concerns in a vivid and often disarming manner. Not only does Kincaid have to navigate workplace politics, and the fallout of a relationship with a coworker, she is subject to the same sexist world that is so familiar (how she handles a grabby dude-bro poltergeist at Sea-Tac will have readers cheering). But it goes deeper than that. At the heart of the novels is the relationship between the ghosts and humans, a stark examination of societal exclusion and segregation. . . . It's a thrilling balancing act, and one which Charish pulls off with aplomb." -- Robert J. Wiersema , Toronto Star Praise for the Kincaid Strange Novels "If you're a fan of Buffy Summers and Sookie Stackhouse, you'll definitely like Kincaid Strange." -- Canadian Living " The Voodoo Killings is such a spectacular mix of urban fantasy and mystery it kept me up to two in the morning. Give me more Kincaid Strange." -- Faith Hunter , New York Times bestselling author of the Jane Yellowrock series "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 "This was an absolute delight to read. With a smart, cynical hero and zombies whose morals are as gray as the brains they snack on, The Voodoo Killings offers a fun and creepy new world--or two--to get lost in." -- Patrick Weekes , author of the Rogues of the Republic series "Charish writes a compelling tale that blends together supernatural and horror elements. . . . The characters are interesting, narrative moves along at a nice pace, and Charish's prose and balance of mystery and horror make the book well worth the read." --Flickering Myth (UK)
