FIRST AMERICAN EDITION

"It was another day in hell."

For Mark Davies, hell is the norm, the everyday, the commonplace.  First there was the accident, the unremembered fakk from a moving train.  Then the coma and the unaccounted for recovery.  After waking up, he dreaded to sleep again.  Nightmares haunted him -- terrible visions of standing stones and pagan rituals, hideous tortures and human sacrifices, all the more horrible because of their teasing hint of reality.  And finally, most terrifying of all, came the memories of the Ghost Train.

But consciousness has its dangers, too.  Unable to work, frightened that he is losing touch with his family -- and himself -- he is driven by the impulse, a force that takes him back to the start of his dark journey, a trip into fear that is shared by more victims than he can ever imagine.

The fear that is the cause of unexplained murders and suicides, perversions and seductions, is the focus of Mark's quest.  Joined in an uneasy alliance with ex-Detective-inspector Les Chadderton, whose own wife has fallen prey to the terror that stalks the railway lines, Davies must face his own worst fears made real.

As a driverless express hurtles toward London with over two hundred dead passengers aboard, Davies, Chadderton, and a priest who has been given an insight into helll struggle in a desperate race against time to exorcise a terrifying force that has existed since the beginning of time.  They know that when the train arrives it will have become the Ghost Train.

A brilliant, chilling novel in the tradition of Stephen King and Peter Straub, Ghost Train is the ultimate combination of mystery, fear, and psychological terror.

The real nightmare, the one that ends them all, has just begun.
