Path of the Dead

Timothy Baker

Synopsis

Nestled on the foot of the sacred Seche La Mountain is the village of Dagzê, Tibet, China. The normally quiet streets are bustling with the steady stream of arrivals and preparations for the coming Festival of the Medicine King; a time of celebration, healing, and renewal. But a shadow is sweeping the world, a plaque of apocalyptic proportion: the dead are rising and devouring the living, and no place is safe where humanity thrives. As Dagzê burns, overtaken by the hungry undead, five people come together. Three have journeyed far, trucking in gifts for the festival: Lama Tenzin, an elder monk, there too, looking for an old friend; Gu-lang, the silent warrior nun, Tenzin's protector; Cheung, a private in The People's Army, an ordered driver and escort of the Lama. Two are citizens of the mountain: Ten-year-old Chodren Dawa, witness to his sister's death and rising, and the brutal death of his parents; and Dorje Cetan, hermit monk of Seche La, Shaolin trained, lifetime seeker of Nirvana, dreamer of a dark portent, and haunted by the face of a girl. Together they fight their way out of Dagzê, driving up a treacherous mountainside trail to their only refuge...a long abandoned Buddhist hermitage clinging to a mist shrouded granite wall of Seche La. With the undead following and gathering at Eagle's Nest gate, they barricade themselves inside their dead-end haven and battle the beasts without and ones within.

Top 10 Short Stories The - The...

Rudyard Kipling, Edith Nesbit, D...

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.

In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?

The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.

Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.

In this volume beings of a spectral kind come to visit and offer us their stories through the pens of such literary masters as M R James, Edith Nesbit, W W Jacobs, William Hope Hodgson and many others can.

The excellence of their story-telling craft makes each story a journey into certain and unsettling fear.
