Gary Couzens, our longest-serving member in the group, had his work featured in a number of books published by Midnight Street Press, who also published Rushmoor Writers’ 70th anniversary anthology. One of these is Railroad Tales – an anthology featuring dark tales about trains and stations. The 23 stories in this anthology play upon those fears and uncertainties. Each one explores the journeys we might take into horrific, supernatural or extraordinary futures. Guilt, unresolved desires and disbelief all play their part in creating vivid and disturbing nightmares from which there is no escape, or from which a frightening lesson is learned.
The train awaits, ready to carry you along tracks that disappear into darkness. Somewhere out there are the horrors that we all imagine and hope will never happen.
Enjoy the journey.
