Start your review of Hell Train. Feb 22, C. Synopsis: An American screenwriter is up for a job at Hammer Studio in s England and to prove his talent Hell Train must write a new script for the studio. The Hell Train must showcase the studios actors, notably Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, must have the requisite amount of horror, gore, and tantalizingly revealed young women, and must be finished in a week. What follows is the script, starting with its own prologue of a girl in Chelmsk finding an old board game in the attic called "Hell Train. The story then follows the four passengers and the Hell Train they must face aboard the "Arkangel," a Hell Train train on Hell Train one-way trip to Hell. Each passenger Hell Train mysteries and horrors created to bring out their worst traits. Along the way, the mystery of Hell Train train and its unholy passengers is revealed. How can they get off the train and where will it end? But the ultimate question is "Can the train be stopped? First we start with a fascinating look at Hammer Studio in the 60s, just as their decline from the top of the horror film industry is beginning. Then on to this strange interlude with the girl and the board game. Then the game becomes the actual story, set during WWI in Eastern Europe and following an English married couple, a con-artist Londoner, and a peasant girl facing an imminent marriage and the invasion of her town by soldiers. By chance or is that Fate? This story is occasionally interrupted by chapters returning to the scriptwriter. The ending, however, begins Hell Train tie it all together, where the little girl with the game board is integral to the people on the train and the scriptwriter uncovers his own little mystery. Once I finished the book and began thinking back to the early chapters, more facets became clear. Such as how instructions given to the scriptwriter show up through the story. Or how faithful Hell Train old horror movies the story is. And that I could see the characters Lee Hell Train Cushing would relish playing. What at first seemed a strange cobbling of different tales became a collection that tells a deeper story about the golden age of Hell Train films. And I love it when books become better each time I think about them. I was not disappointed. I was drawn into each aspect of the story, even when questioning their relevance, and Fowler does a great job building suspense and then exploding it across the page in a horrific showdown of good and evil. Recommendation: I don't typically read horror as a genre, though some books I enjoy cross over into that genre. What I was happily surprised to find Hell Train a book that went beyond horror and WWI and into the business of movie-making in the s. Having a husband and several friends who are connoisseurs of horror movies, I've seen a Hell Train of old Hammer films, and it was fun to envision Hell Train from those films in the roles of characters in the book. I loved the homage paid to the old age of horror, which is still one my favorite periods of films. And I love that I continue Hell Train see depth in the book when I think about it even a week after having finished reading it. For horror Hell Train, especially those who love the old B-movies, I heartily recommend this movie. To Hell Train with an interest in the film industry of old, this is a fun read. Even WWI enthusiasts will find the setting unique. And if you like Hell Train, well, the train is one of the most fearful characters in this book. Think Maximum Overdrive on rails. Pun intended. Jan 16, Paulo "paper books always" Carvalho rated it liked it Shelves: Hell Trainabaddon- solarishorrornot-worth-the-money. This is what I say. I always enjoy watching Hammer films so when I read the Hell Train of this book I had to read it. The first read of the year I had never read anything by this author and after reading this book I will try again I guess If I have the time. This story is a story within a story. The story is about a writer who has come from America to write a script for Hammer Production but the great chunk of the book is about the script itself that he wrote in a couple of days. I must say it was a nice tale and I good see it as a movie script. If Hammer productions had the money to do it. We get to see Christopher Lee Hell Train Peter Cushing and that's always a joy. The tale itself is set on the brink of WWI and four passangers embark on a Hell Train on their way to hell. They must confront their worst fears and battle it's residents. Of course the writer wrote this as a tribute to Hammer films so you've got several stereotypes that are presented on the movies. The fatale female Hell Train the problematic vicar are two examples. Even the monsters are there. The writer even says that there Hell Train no problem with the budget because most of the set would be taken from other movies like it was done in real hammer films. In the end you will be satisfied with the book if you used to see the Hammer films. If you didn't you will want to see them. Nice book, nice characterization, nice plot. A good read. Aug 01, Andrew rated it really liked it. Wow its been far too long since I have Hell Train Christopher fowler and even longer since I have read one his full bodied in your face horrors books dont get me wrong I love Bryant and May Hell Train this has been Hell Train real pleasure - probably too much so - to read Hell train. Similar to Calabash there is a story in a story - what it is, well read the book since I wont give anything away but what I can say is that it has Mr Fowlers trade mark style and pace and something that I realised I have missed. Now in m Wow its been far too long since I have read Christopher fowler and even longer since I have read one Hell Train full bodied in your face horrors books dont get me wrong I love Bryant and May so this has been a real pleasure - probably too much so - to read Hell train. Now in many ways you can predict what is coming but without labouring the train metaphor too much - sometimes its not the destination but the trip that is Hell Train fascinating part and that is certainly the case here. I know that peoples views of this book are varied and they are entitled to them but what I will say is that they should take a step back and read more Hell Train Christopher Fowlers portfolio - he has written in different styles and in different genres and as a result he can mix and transfer between them so of course the story is not going Hell Train be formulaic or stereotyped and that is what always keeps me coming back to his work the twist in Psychoville still makes me smile and Hell Train some it does not sit well for others it makes Hell Train the page a must. I am not a Hell Train so I will put my hand up in ignorance and admit it but I am sure that writers have several books in progress while one is being published - however I do feel that dark fantasy and horror have been Hell Train from Mr Fowlers titles for far too long and I am glad they are making a come back.
