A petty thief steals a car and the curse that comes with it…An abandoned laptop leads an overstressed software designer to the dark web, where ruthless traders barter in something more intangible than money…A small-town cop shows up for a routine eviction, but finds an abomination hidden beneath the house…From the mind of Ichabod Ebenezer, author of Between Bloom and Decay and A Shadow Stained in Blood, comes a collection of short stories destined to sink its teeth into your bones. Beyond the Rail and Other Nightmares lures readers into a world of sentient shadows where every smile comes quiet in the black. A world where no object is ordinary, and trusting in the mundane can get you killed. For the readers who wish to be haunted—this collection will keep you up at night, within reach of a nightlight and a warm blanket against the dark.
