Fifteen-year-old Bren doesn’t scare easily, especially since her father left, making her head of the house. So when a group of kids dare each other to pass through a tunnel rumored to be haunted by a train that steals people away to "the Nevermore," Bren steps up. But when she reaches the other end of the tunnel, more than she bargained for awaits. For fans of “kids on bikes” ‘80s-style horror.

Neat short creepy story
Bren and Cody go inside a haunted tunnel on a dare. Bren is not scared easily and does not expect anything. What happens inside the tunnel? Short crisp story.

I like trains but I didn't like this audiobook.

Very short campfire ghost story for young adults. Absolutely nothing new. Free on Audible.

A mini story. Fairly pointless but I quite liked the ending. The narration was weird though - a strong southern drawl with high notes for the girl voices.
