Ghost Train
This intriguing first novel by Emily Tellwright will be published by Castle Sefton Press in December 2024.
​
Clyde Tranter and his wife have renovated a derelict villa and former college in the North Midlands as their new home, but almost straight away Clyde notices strange things happening around the house. Could they be related to the brutal murders that once took place there? Or is something else going on? Who is the attractive blonde woman on the platform of the closed local station, and where do the mysterious trains that stop there come from?
As Clyde explores these mysteries, he also investigates questions about his own life and future and those of his friends, about the forgotten recent past and their relationship to it, and about what is real.
Emily Tellwright's contemporary fantasy Ghost Train could fit in many categories. Is it a thriller, a romance or a comedy? A story of self-discovery or a comment on modern British society? A time-travel mystery or an historical murder case? You can only decide by reading it.
"I really enjoyed the book. The premise was very interesting, and I was intrigued to discover what was going on in the house. It was hard to tell whether it was going to be a crime story, thriller, or horror. And in the end, it was none of those, occupying its own genre."
