Night Train

Night Train is a TKO Short comic by Steve Foxe. It is the story of a ten year old youngster named Neal whose family moves to a new home to add space for a new baby to be born into the family. The home is noisy because it is located under a train track. Neal's baby brother drives him insane by screaming all night and cannot sleep. His parents are not handling the new addition well either. Neal begins to see a spectral train with a ghost for a conductor. When the ghost offers to take Neal's baby brother away, Neal cannot resist the offer. However, when Neal wakes up he is not sure if he really gave his brother away, if he dreamed it all up or whether he is just daydreaming.

Night Train is part of a three short comic release by TKO Presents that they published in November 2020. The illustrations by Lisandro Estherren and coloring by Patricio Delpeche add to the supernatural feeling of the story. They visually appear dreamlike.  The comic is only 10 pages long but contains a well plotted horror story that I thoroughly enjoyed.

5 out of 5 stars.
