The Walker Chronicles: Tales from The Dying of the Light

The Dying of the Light #4

by Jason Kristopher

The zombie apocalypse didn't begin on Z-Day—it's been raging in secret for 150 years. From an 1872 military unit's first walker encounter to Nazi experiments in concentration camps, from Cold War cover-ups to the final days before collapse, these classified stories reveal the conspiracy that doomed humanity. While the world slept, Unit 73 and AEGIS fought a shadow war against the walking dead. Some secrets should stay buried—but like the dead themselves, truth always rises.

The Walker Chronicles expands the universe of The Dying of the Light trilogy, uncovering the untold history of humanity's fight against the walking dead. While David Blake's journey in End , Interval , and Beginning shows the apocalypse and its aftermath, these essential stories reveal the covert battles that raged for decades before Z-Day changed everything. Each tale deepens the conspiracy, heightens the horror, and illuminates the sacrifices made to keep humanity alive.

These are short stories about the zombie virus and various historical outbreaks. I very much enjoyed all the stories especially finding out what happened to Tom who was one of my favourite characters. I'd like to see the Poland story fleshed out into a longer read as I really loved the ideas in it.

1) Washington 1872-Unit 73 becomes the first unit ever set up to deal with the zombie threat

2) Poland 1942-Josef Mengele has created zombies from prisoners at Belzec concentration camp and plans to use them against the allies.

3) 1981-A pilot is shot down over Libya and is saved by locals who are already dealing with a zombie outbreak.

4) The Tom Reynolds story. What happened to Tom when his convoy was attacked on its way to the safety of bunker one?

Enjoyed these stories that are companion to the authors Dying of the Light series. You don't have to read the series for these stories to be enjoyable, but I very much liked having these to read after finishing the trilogy. My favorite was the story of Tom Reynolds that I really wanted to know after reading the first two books in the series.
