By Train At Night: Sixteen Short Stories is a sometimes disturbing, yet psychologically compelling collection short tales by Janet Walker McDaniel that view life through the dark side of a mirror. From "Standing on the Promises" and "The Sound of Wings" to "Half-Moon Rising" and "The Winnowing", the horrors of both body and mind form a twisted background for survivors of atrocity and people pushed to the limit of terrible, soul-rending choices in this highly recommended compendium of original and superbly written short stories.

Janet Walker McDaniel's short story collection, Train At Night, has a smokey, woodsy flavor of the deep south. Her stories will engross the reader until you become a part of them. Her prose and otherworldly, mystical relation with the short story is an incredible read.
Admittedly, I am not much of a short story reader, but her characters and places drew me in to her minds web, like an unsuspection fly to a date with a spider. Before I knew it, I had read the entire book and was looking forward to reading it again.
If you like the 'other-beaten-path' of reading, Ms. McDaniels, Train At Night, is a book sure to please you. : )
