I went into this book completely blind, not knowing anything except for the fact that Stephen King blurbed it. I don’t want to give too much away in terms of the plot; however, this is told from two different timelines and multiple POVs. This had everything you love about a classic horror movie or novel; it was creepy, eerie, and sinister. As I turned the pages and got further into the story, I could almost hear the choo-choo of the train getting closer and closer. In parts it did drag on just a little bit, but everything came together beautifully in the end. I would absolutely love to see this one turned into a horror film.
