Fifteen-year-old Bren doesn’t scare easily, especially since her father left, making her head of the house. So when a group of kids dare each other to pass through a tunnel rumored to be haunted by a train that steals people away to "the Nevermore," Bren steps up. But when she reaches the other end of the tunnel, more than she bargained for awaits. For fans of “kids on bikes” ‘80s-style horror.

it's very short, but i felt it works well like this, not really giving the listener much context and keeping the mystery. a scary short story, most likely based on an urban legend. not usually my preferred style, but ok enough.

Very short campfire ghost story for young adults. It's not a bad story, but it isn't anything new.

How many has this guy taken before he decided to read this? I went all the way up to double speed and it still sounds like he’s just took 10 Valium.
