The Talgorse Horror

The Talgorse Horror

A stranded train. A nameless predator. The survival of the human race begins on a lonely Welsh platform.

Halloween, 1920. The Great War is over, but for the passengers of the midnight express, a new nightmare is just beginning. A relentless storm has washed out the tracks, leaving a steam locomotive and its human cargo stranded at a remote station deep in the jagged peaks of the Brecon Beacons.

As the floodwaters rise and the telegraph lines go dead, they are isolated. They are alone. And they are being hunted.

A Base Under Siege

Something unearthly has emerged from the darkness of the Welsh hills. This is not a ghost story; it is an alien horror that defies every law of nature. It doesn't want to communicate; it wants to consume. One by one, passengers are vanishing into the shadows of the station, leaving behind nothing but a mounting sense of dread and a predator that cannot be reasoned with.

An Unlikely Alliance

Owen Randall, an eighteen-year-old railway porter just starting his life in a world scarred by conflict, finds himself thrust into a brutal fight for survival. To protect the passengers, he must form an unlikely alliance with a fearless engine driver and the eccentric, brilliant Professor Stargrove—a man who seems to know more about the "stars" than any academic should.

Armed with nothing but their wits, a trusty steam locomotive, and the iron-clad resolve of Interwar Britain, they must turn the station into a fortress. But as the night stretches on, Stargrove realises this is no mere animal attack. It is the first ripple of a cosmic secret that will echo through the decades—and change the course of the 20th century forever.

A chilling blend of interwar science fiction and cosmic horror, where steam and steel meet the unknown.
