وصف الناشر
A science fiction horror story like no other—from the Emmy Award-winning author of Veep hailed by Neil Gaiman as “smart, funny, and unique.”
A woman finds herself on the ride of a lifetime in this “dark, nightmarish journey into a brand-new sort of Twilight Zone . . . breathless, frantic and creepy as hell” (Christopher Golden, New York Times–bestselling author).
A woman wakes up, frightened and alone. The room shaking and jumping like it's alive. The noise is terrifying. Where is she? Stumbling through a door, she realizes she is on a train carriage. A carriage full of the dead. A personal hell unfolding in an apocalyptic future.
This is Night Train. A terrifying ride set on a driverless locomotive, heading for a collision somewhere in the endless night. How did the woman get here? Who is she? And who are the dead?
As our heroine makes her way through the train trying to find out what happened to her, she meets a former strongman, a trained killer, and a collection of strange and terrifying creatures. Each step takes her closer to finding out the secret of the Night Train.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Quantick (All My Colors) sets this harrowing sci-fi tale aboard a bizarre train with unexpected horrors waiting in each car. Garland wakes up alone in the dark with no memory of who or where she is. She escapes the dark room in which she finds herself, only to discover that she's on a train and the next car is full of dead bodies. Continuing from car to car in search of answers, she meets Banks, who is equally confused about how he came aboard but does remember who he is. Together they move forward through the train crossing through deserted cars and lavishly decorated ones, booby-trapped cars and ones full of gory remains until they meet the exceptionally strong Poppy, who joins them in their trek to the front of the train. Quantick throws readers into this off-kilter world just as blindly as his characters, creating a sense of disconcerting dread. As the puzzle pieces slowly come together, the characters and reader alike realize that something horrible has happened to the world. This imaginative horror novel is a page-turner.
