Trackbed Tales

It’s Winter on a Preserved Railway…

Book Guild Publishing 2015 Pb, 64pp, £9.99, ISBN 9781910508862

This slender volume hosts 10 narrated stories of some strange and extraordinary incidents or discoveries made in the supposedly serene world of preserved or restored English railways. Human remains, dangerous creatures, Satanic societies, haunted rolling stock, and the like. Scott is a published writer of Sherlock Holmes pastiches, so his little stories go at a cracking pace; but don’t expect these to be true as no sources are given. A good loo book.
