LEGEND STATION
On a seemingly regular day the clouds darken and fill the sky above Legend Station. Its folklore quietly prepares to unleash its mystic powers on those chosen from the crowds about to pass — when a girl, somewhere, shrieks as she bolts upright in her bed awakening from a dream. He hair sticks to her sweaty face and the image of cold hands reaching at her still terrifies her mind — a sign of what’s to come. In the next twelve hours, four unassuming visitors will enter the station to be pulled into their pasts and relive tragic events they had caused. Trina; a posh woman of the night; Drake; an investment advisor; Trevor; an enthusiast of classic Mustang sports-cars; and Vance; a police officer, will become trapped by the station's supernal force, as it reveals their secretive pasts before imposing a horrifying redemption. A story that is graphic, touching, action packed, and somber, Legend Station was partly inspired by Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol and influenced by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, as it sets the stage for its sequel which unfolds the grand design behind the dreadful tale.
* The novel is for readers of ages 13 and up.
