Red Dust: The Fall by Ben Dixon and Sam Campbell is three short stories that take place in old west times, when the west was still being settled. In the first story you meet Masterson, who is searching for a wagon train that got lost. In his search he finds a diary that tells about what happened to the wagon train and he finds that what plagued the wagon train is spreading. The second story introduces Griffin - he helps save a small town from a crazy man bent on revenge who doesn't care if he destroys everything in his search for revenge. The third story is about Isaac, who is a courier that braves the dangers of the west to make a delivery to a fort. Isaac's story is full of danger but holds a few surprises.

Red Dust is three well written stories that mix some historical aspects with zombies. Ben and Sam do a good job of throwing zombies in and showing what things might have been like if the zombie apocalypse had occurred during the settling of the west. Ben and Sam have zombies that seem a little smarter than most are portrayed, although in the end the hunger wins out and they don't stay wary of danger long. Ben and Sam are creative and I really enjoyed how the three stories end up coming together and linking together.
