If you’ve not yet read Riding the Ghost Train, you’re missing out. Don’t expect it to be comfortable—it’s not. Don’t expect pretty things or anything close to Disney. If you think you know what’s about to happen next, you don’t. The author, Klaus_B_Renner, said it best:
“It’s about the city that got buried. About the girls who didn’t make it out—and the one who did, and what she became. This story is soaked in sex, sweat, ghosts, ink, addiction, theft—and a kind of love that never learned to behave, or let go. It’s personal. Violent in its tenderness. Tender in its brutality.”
It lingers on in your mind after you’ve left it, like any good movie, show, or story. It's too complex, too nuanced to be summarized unless you write an essay about it, and ain’t nobody got time to read that. So read this.
:worship: Brilliant piece of writing, Klaus! Congratulations! 😊
