"Ghost Train" delivers an unforgettable blend of suspense, horror, and emotion.

Synopsis

GHOST TRAIN is a YA Japanese Folk-Horror (blend of Historical Fiction and Dark Fantasy), set in the summer of 1877 Kyoto during the backdrop of the last samurai rebellion. Emperor Meiji is ushering in western ideals, technology and change, but as Old Japan comes tumbling down to make way for New Japan, ghosts emerge from the cracks with a cry for help. It’s up to one samurai's daughter to find the demon that took their lives…before it takes hers. It's all about taking on the patriarchy, trusting no one but yourself, and forging alliances with unlikely friends.

While there are paranormal elements to the story, it is based on true events. I wrote it in collaboration with Japanese historians and subject matter experts to ensure accuracy. It has been endorsed by Jake Adelstein (Tokyo Vice), Robert Whiting (You’ve Got to Find Wa), Shirley Miller Kamada (No Quiet Water), and more.
