THE
LAST TRAIN by Richard Alan
Jake
sets out to reunite with his wife. The problem? He's dead!
Tragedy
has struck Mr. and Mrs. Avia while on vacation. A train crash kills Jake and
puts Bernadette in the hospital. This is the starting place for Jake’s romance
driven fantasy adventure.
He
navigates the strange and unexpected world of angels, demons, and spirit
possessions. Richard Alan pokes a hole through the veil between us and an
entertaining vision of the afterlife. Characters mix from both sides; some are
very serious, some ordinary people, and many are just plain crazy.
“The
Last Train” blends horror with comedy. It has been described as, “Laugh out
loud funny,” “Bloody brilliant!” and "The story is told in such a light
and humorous way that one finds delight in what might otherwise be a grim
ride."

As a multi-genre author and writer, Richard H. Alan’s works have sprinkled the
internet for many years. Poetry for nonprofit organizations appeared first.
There was a substantial break when health issues knocked him down and almost
out. He returned with short stories in various magazines, some taken from his
time writing for The Twilight Zone in the late 1980s.
“The Rising of Julian Adams” was published, but as he grew as a writer and had
penned three more novels in this vampire series, his vision for it changed and
he withdrew it from the marketplace. Though the story is wonderful and will be
revisited, he calls the first edition “An embarrassment.”
With that change in vision, he stepped up, swirled a few genres together, and
wrote “The Last Train” in an act of stretching his wings in his newfound freedom.
He had a delightful time writing this entertaining story. After plotting it
out, it took on a life of its own that was admittedly, “Pure fun.” The
restraints are now unlocked, and in that freedom he looks mischievously to his
post-disability occupation with childlike excitement. “Oh, what shall be next?”

Good luck Richard. Sounds like an interesting book!
ReplyDeleteThank You. I'm glad to see comments as I have been computer challenged to make connections in the group. It's great to meet you all!
DeleteI set out to write a romance driven spiritual horror, but Jake's sarcasm and the other characters took it to a whole new level. I'm thankful for their help, or is that admitting to insanity? lol
No, not at all. Your book sounds fascinating. I love humor and trains--it's the horror that scares me!

Well this book quite surprised me I must say. I wasn't sure what to expect, but was
pleasantly surprised by the humour and the clever use of literary devices.
The subject matter is as old as…well life and death I guess! I have seldom read a more engaging tale of riding on the death train. The story is told in such a light and humorous way that one finds delight in what might otherwise be a grim ride.
Essentially this is a romantic comedy. Jake’s love for Bernadette transcends all things. Life is found in death. As is humour found in horror.
I can highly recommend this wonderful story. Do yourself a favour and grab a copy.
You’ll need something to read on the train, won’t you?
