THE UNDERWORLD IS CALLING…

Jack Devins lost his four-year-old daughter Kelly in a tragic accident, and his will to live. He is about to jump in front of a subway train and end the pain forever when a mysterious, disfigured homeless man stops him. He has a message for Jack—a message from the great beyond.

Kelly’s soul is trapped in the darkest place imaginable. Jack could rescue her, but only if he follows this “burnt man” into a pitch-black subway tunnel, where death by a mysteriously silent train will awaken his soul in a place of surreal horror and eldritch wonder.

In the crumbling city known as Trainland, demons roam, interdimensional train stations trade tickets for pieces of your soul, and a powerful, bloodthirsty cult controls the only means of travel. As he makes the dangerous journey from one end of the city to the other, Jack will learn the startling truth about what happened to his daughter the day she died…

…and what tragedy awaits him and the rest of his family - unless he can make it home in time to stop Fate itself.

Board the ghost train into an underworld unlike any you’ve ever experienced. See why fans are describing their journey through Trainland as “terrifying” “freaky” and “unique,” with a “twist you’ll never see coming.”

★ PRAISE FOR TRAINLAND ★

5,0 su 5 stelle Kept Me Up Way Past Bedtime
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 29 dicembre 2013

Having dealt with the author in another capacity, I heard that he wrote books so figured I'd go check them out. I tried the cheapest Kindle book of his on Amazon initially and was hooked on his writing style. The beginning chapter of this book was included at the end of another book, and I HAD to go buy it... and was definitely up way too late reading for not wanting to put it down.

His writing flows very well - something that can't be said of lots of authors. There were no points where I found myself reciting the words in my head, but not really knowing what's going on or having to go back to reread or hesitate from getting mildly confused as to what the author is trying to relate. All his stories just flow from beginning to end, easily understandable, painting the picture vividly in your mind without effort on your part - which is really impressive in this book as the plot/story is very unusual.

If this genre appeals to you, I'd highly recommend checking out any of the author's books. Send the free sample to your Kindle or purchase this one just to check it out. The only unfortunate thing is that he doesn't have more books than he does!

Update: After many months, I still sometimes think of this story. It really is very unique, and I can't recommend it more than I have.

I downloaded Trainland for free during a promotion by the author and am glad I did. This story is about a family (Jack, his wife Claire, and son Danny) who splinter and break apart after the accidental drowning of the youngest child, Kelly. Without giving too much away, here are my thoughts:

LIKES:
1. I found the challenge to the traditional roles of grieving thought provoking. There is a familial expectation that Jack will be strong and supportive through the grief process and when he can't he is resented and experiences rejection by his wife and son. (To a lesser extent he is alienated at work as well when he cannot overcome this extreme loss after only a short period of time - 6months.)
2. Jack doesn't consciously choose suicide to deal with his problems but mentally reaches a place where he wants the pain to stop. The written descriptions of this time were plausible, believable, and poignant.
3. The character (and mystery) of the "burning man" hooked me from his first appearance through the conclusion of his own personal story.
4. Trainland itself was a believable realm for lost souls. Would have liked a bit more insight into the structure and motivations of some of the inhabitants, but was satisfied overall.

DISLIKES:
1. I would have liked to know Claire better. Jack was the main character, and as such, this was mainly his story. Claire was believable but at times unlike-able. Had I understood her history better I think I would have been more sympathetic to her situation.
2. I'm not sure I find Danny's ultimate decision to participate in the group's violent attack plausible. He just wasn't that kid. So I'm choosing to see it as one possible ending to a fork in the road of bad decisions - ie - it could have happened but did not. That being said, I absolutely LOVED Danny's character. His confusion and pain were bad enough but the continuing humiliation from school peers was absolutely heart wrenching.
3. Not sure I liked Jack at the end of the story. Why did he turn into a little old man? Other than the "old man" bit character evolution completely satisfying.

Conclusion:
I started (and finished) this book in one day. It was that compelling, interesting, and thought provoking. One book you will not forget.

2,0 su 5 stelle A mix of reality and imagination that treats the reader as a child.
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 14 giugno 2013

Jack Devins is an advertising copy writer who is facing changes at work. This novel starts off really good. Jack rides as a passenger on the New York subway trains. One day Jack goes onto the platform and enters another world, a world I can't relate to. From here this novel descends into a fantasy nonsense.

Trainland, an area and time within the New York subway system is another world full of horrors, a living hell. There are living dead people, zombies etc living in purgatory. They are all trapped in a world of madness they want to escape. Jack tries to get out of Trainland and must battle with many demons. He also has to deal with the grief of losing his daughter Kelly in an earlier accident and to stop blaming himself.

I gave up on this ridiculous plot and did not know where it would end. Thankfully there is a big twist approaching the end and you can finally make sense of this nonsense. Trainland questions our perceptions of reality. Details revealed earlier in this story now make sense and then you start to understand Jack's problems. I did not like this story format, the mix of reality and imagination that treats the reader as a child. Rather than entertain the reader, this book annoys because of it's distortion of reality.

Trainland is available as a 490 KB Amazon Kindle eBook and was written in 2012. I think it is a disappointing read, a poor book that I shall vote only 2 stars and suggest you give it a MISS.

5,0 su 5 stelle One of the best horror books I've ever read!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 26 gennaio 2019

If you are a true fan of great literature, it is definitely a must read! The story unfolds in the infamous New York City and from the first paragraphs we are drawn into a banal and dreary life of an ordinary family that sustained a terrible tragedy. Shortly we get heavily involved in personal lives of all the main characters, see their straggles and fears, and even though it gets depressing at times, there is no way you will be able to put this book down. Expect an unexpected twist of the plot, observe the roller coaster of events that alter characters' destinies in the most disturbing ways. It's the best horror story that has everything: boring and exciting, mediocre and unbelievable, beautiful and disgusting, silver lining and dead end, reality and not so much. The ending in quite unexpected as well and suddenly brings you back to life, leaving you contemplating life and wondering about people you meet in New York trains...
Read it, you won't regret! Oh, and study the cover page, some very cool graphics there.
