Climb aboard the Alternate Reality Train for a trip to bizarre worlds where reality ends and terror creates sudden victims. Dennis Latham, author of the acclaimed dark thrillers, Michael In Hell and The Bad Season, selected 18 of his strange tales for this collection. You'll meet ghosts and demons, killers and warriors, the psychotic and the suicidal, the good, the bad, the innocent and the tormented. Discover why a man's friends commit suicide when he's with them. Find out what happens when shadows bite. Spend a night in jail with a body dragged from the river. Witness the long term effect war inflicts on the warriors. Visit a gambling boat with a demon who cheats for you, and try to survive a night in a haunted nightclub. The train has arrived and you have a ticket.
