SOLVED. Trying to find a Horror book I read once in the 1980s

[Frank]

There's a horror book I read in the early 80s whose title I believe is Charnel House (I am not 100% certain) and has been the first AND last horror novel I have read in my life. Due to the amount of books I have read over the years, I can't remember the author's name or publisher. I can give a brief synopsis of what I can remember:

a West Coast Indian legend (I believe in California) was slowly coming back to life by luring and killing random people for select body parts (limbs, organs, blood etc) and it was up to a detective and a Native American teaming up to find out who (or what) the killer is and to stop he/she/it before it comes to life and wreaks havoc on the world.

That is all I can remember of the novel, if anyone can find the title, author and publisher of that book, I will be greatly appreciative.

Thanks so much! I will be getting that book next month to add to my library. I read the short overview and the memories of that book came rushing back. As I have said, this is the first and only horror book I have read and will ever read. Heck, I'm not big on horror flicks on the silver screen either as there are only a handful of them that I will watch again when the mood hits
