The Haunted Train: Creepy Tales from the Railways: Gothic Ghost and Horror Stori

Description: The Haunted Train by Pia Manning, Edith Wharton, Clint Spivey Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Come on board for a Gothic journey in a funicular railway in Victorian England, a freight train in the Carpathian mountains, a high tech sky train in Bangkok, an underground railway in Tokyo. Visit stations which lure with the promise of safe shelter but harbour unexpected dangers. Meet the people who work on the tracks - stationmasters, porters, signal-men - and those who travel - commuters, tourists, dead bodies, murderers and ghosts. In this volume, editor Rayne Hall has collected twenty of the finest- and creepiest - railway tales. The book features the works of established writers, classic authors and fresh voices. Some stories are spooky, some downright scary, while others pose a puzzling mystery. Some writers use American English, others British. At the end of their tales, they reveal the sources of their inspiration. Are you prepared to come on board this train? Already, the steam engine is huffing in impatience. Listen to the chuff-chuff-chuff from the locomotive and tarattata-tarattata of the giant wheels. Press your face against the dust-streaked window, inhale the smells of coal smoke and old textiles, watch the landscape whoosh past as you leave the familiar behind and journey into the unknown. But be careful: you cant know the trains real destination, nor your fellow travellers intentions. Once youve closed that door behind you and the wheels start rolling, you may not be able to get out.
