Thirteenth Platform

by Janet Bailey

On the edge of the moors, Earnie and Earnest stumble into a pub that shouldn’t exist — a retreat known only as The Lost Place. Inside, silence holds its breath, stories are traded like currency, and names written in a ledger carry unsettling weight. The innkeeper, a storyteller, and locals weave tales that blur truth and echo, while the newcomers sense the pub itself has been waiting for them. As unfinished names in the village book darken into destiny, Earnest must decide whether to accept the role the story demands. Atmospheric and layered, the tale explores belonging, memory, and the haunting pull of places that choose their guests.
