The Talgorse Horror

Halloween, 1920. A raging storm strands a train at a remote station deep in the Brecon Beacons. As the wind howls through the mountains and floods spread, something alien lurks in the dark—stalking the trapped passengers, one by one.

Young porter Owen Randall is thrust into a brutal fight for survival. His only hope lies in an alliance with a fearless engine driver and a brilliant, mysterious scientist. Armed with nothing but courage, wits, and a trusty steam locomotive, they must battle an unearthly terror with no name—and no mercy.

But as the night stretches on, their struggle sets in motion a mystery far greater than any of them could imagine—a secret that will shape the course of the century, and echo through time.

A chilling blend of interwar science fiction and Lovecraftian cosmic horror, where steam and steel meet the unknown.
