About this ebook
"An epic novel with enough terrifying adventure to accommodate at least a few sleepless nights. All aboard—and highly recommended!" — Dark Bites
Under the subways' roar, out of the deep, wet caves, comes the fury from Hell . . .
. . . to be met by an unlikely troupe ready to save the lives and soul of their city. In the bedrock beneath New York, beautiful news reporter Lya Marsden and hard-bitten detective Michael Corvino enter an eerie maze of abandoned tunnels, searching for a train that vanished with all aboard—over half a century ago.
But under the concrete maze of skyscrapers and tourists, below the peep shows and the penthouses, within the clammy darkness, and around the next turn—an unholy evil waits to disgorge violence and blood.
In Night Train, the urban decay of 80s-era New York City meets hordes of feral cats, a Subway Slasher, the occult, and an underground labyrinth full of primeval and modern monsters that threaten to swallow whole a four-hundred-year-old city and its inhabitants. What's beneath their feet will shock and horrify till the last blaring warning of lost Train 93.
Praise for Thomas F. Monteleone
"Monteleone has a dark imagination, a wicked pen, and the rare ability to convey an evil chill with words." —Dean Koontz, New York Times–bestselling author
"Tom's an expert storyteller." —F. Paul Wilson, author of The Keep and Deep as the Marrow
"A vastly entertaining novel of horror and suspense [that poses] difficult questions about the nature of man, God and the devil." — Los Angeles Daily News
"The story is irresistible, moving to a mighty climax." — The New York Times

This is a difficult review, as a piece of fiction I would give this book a 3.5/5, it has intriguing ideas, but doesn't quite do the themes justice or execute them fully, but it's still a fun read. Some of the descriptions could be more evocative, but the characters pull you in. This ebook edition is terrible, I would give it -1 star if possible, they have clumsily altered the text in places to modernise it, but the book is set in the 1980s so no one would be getting an Uber, even the sentence structure feels shoddy as if AI was used to create the modern additions. The unexpected usage of current phrases pulls the reader out of the story, and is entirely unnecessary.
