Product Description:
The Train is the second story in a conceptual series I call the Subway Series. The first story, The Concourse is published in Falling from a Cloud, which should be available by July 2007. I attended school in the Boston area and spent a lot of time riding the âTâ there. I always found it a fascinating dynamic as well as metaphoric.

Jeffrey Howe has wrapped up fantasy, horror, atmosphere, tension, graphic compelling narrative, evocative description and a deep sense of chilly foreboding and wonder into this amazing little short he appropriately titled "The Train". I was transfixed. Howe's writing is so moving as to transcend mere narrative and evolve into free form poetry. Consider this gorgeous description of Jason embarking on his last subway ride:
"The Green Hill Station was deserted except for Jason. The evening ... Read More

Since my earliest recollection, I've been moved by the sound of a train whistle crying out to me in the middle of the night. I don't know why, but it's a nostalgic feeling that fills me with an unnamed longing ... a longing for something lost in time and space. The lonely woo-woo sound reaches into my soul and touches the part of me that's always alone ... an unknown quantity in my life.

Where author Jeff Howe really distinguishes himself is scene setting and mood. You start off thinking the protagonist is taking an ordinary train ride. Fifteen minutes later you're saying "get the number of that truck!" You literally don't know what hit you, You just know you've been hit...hard.
The ride and the fellow passengers seem to deteriorate by the minute, until with a chill down your spine you realize this is something quite different than what you first imagined. To pull off ... Read More

Jeff Howe's "The Train" gave this reader a journey, an anxious "All Aboard" feeling from start to finish. Subterfuge, suspense, and daring to believe are unveiled by Mr. Howe's pen. One may look at twilight in another vain than normal after reading this puzzle of the mind. Great read.
