In BY TRAIN AT NIGHT, a collection of sixteen short stories, the characters grapple with some of life's most urgent problems . . . the loss of a child, difficult relationships, psychological stress, pure terror. Share the intimate moments on their journeys to find answers, inspiration and hope.
Find out what a young mother will do to save the life of her child. Read on as a hunter crosses the line to understand his prey, a concentration camp survivor meets a Neo-Nazi Skinhead, and one man's dream becomes another's obsession. A young winnower who has never left her father's hunting grounds . . . a graduate student lost in the Appalachian Mountains . . . the wanderer searching through a sub-world of the city . . . these are only some of the characters you will meet.
Experience the moment we all dread--the realization of horror--and then ask the question, How civilized are we, really?
