My Review
Lacked cohesion and identity. Started out resembling a ghost story following the ill fated disappearance of train and its passengers in early 1900's deep in the catacombs of the New York subway system only to morph into a battle against hell incarnate. My Copy I bought it
My Review
Despite it's shortcomings Night Train is a lot of fun. The cast of characters is diverse yet familiar for 80's horror with a cop, a reporter, and a specialist of the occult, banding together to ward off the eternal evils dwelling in the bowels of the city.
The combination of crime and horror worked really well to give the story an added layer of depth with a semblance of realism; short-lived but appreciated.
Published in 1987, the Night Train left the door ajar for more horrors beneath the city that never sleeps, but I can't find anymore by the author directly relating to this particular cast of characters/concept.
My rating: 4/5 stars. If you like 80's retro horror, this one ain't bad.
