How could I resist this short story collection when I spotted it in the library a few days after my east coast jaunt? Particularly with its old train poster on the cover. Add to that the promise of 'A collection of thriller, science fiction, & horror to stimulate the mind and invigorate the senses' (despite being on the general fiction shelves) and I was looking forward to finishing the novel I was reading at the time so that I could dive in.
