Ghost Train to Nowhere is a supernatural horror tale set in 1932, following Margaret Holloway and her seven-year-old daughter Eleanor as they encounter the Eternal Express-a mysterious midnight train that collects souls who have transgressed against the natural order between life and death. When Eleanor is injured on the platform, the train's conductor, Thomas Meridian, experiences a moment of humanity and frees them from boarding, but this act of rebellion sets in motion a larger conflict between cosmic duty and human compassion. The story explores the tragic histories of the train's passengers-people guilty only of loving too deeply or seeking forbidden knowledge-and follows the conductor's attempt to free them by reconnecting with his humanity. However, the supernatural force controlling the train ultimately crushes the rebellion, trapping most passengers forever while claiming new victims, including Dr. Morse who tried to help. The tale serves as a haunting meditation on the price of defying cosmic order and the enduring power of hope even in the face of inevitable defeat.
