The Thursday Train
Some passengers board with questions. Others with unfinished lives.

Every Thursday, a silent black train appears in a forgotten Texas town—no whistle, no smoke, no warning. No one sees it arrive. No one sees it leave. But each week, the same well-dressed man steps off, enters a quiet bar, and orders a coffee he never drinks.

When a restless teenager named Elijah follows the stranger back onto the train, he finds himself transported to 1925—a time he doesn't recognize, surrounded by people who don't seem to notice they've left the world behind.

Elijah soon learns the truth: The Thursday Train carries souls who haven't found peace—people stuck between death and whatever comes after. And the man in the brown coat? He's been riding the train for decades, searching for the moment of his own death... the one thing he can't remember.

Now Elijah must navigate this strange in-between world, helping the dead find closure while facing the grief he's long buried. But some passengers don't want to move on. Some memories don't want to be found. And the train has secrets of its own.

The Thursday Train is a haunting and heart-wrenching tale about grief, memory, and the thin line between life and death. Perfect for fans of The Midnight Library, The Lovely Bones, and The Ocean at the End of the Lane.
