Description: The first story is about a man who is, as the title suggests, eaten by a sentient void train that goes around worlds eating people.
However the train seems to be made of void? It's weird. Anyways what follows is a psychological thriller that is both wacky and wonderful and terrifying. Sometimes purposefully so and sometimes entirely by accident.
There are three other stories in the book, all equally as weird horror stories. One about planets that are gods, waging and losing worlds in games of chess. Another about gelatinous blob monsters that subsume people and take on their character traits. The final story is about a city surrounded by thorns, where the citizens must vote out its least productive workers each month to be sacrificed to elder gods.
Despite the horror themes the stories are lightly written and are almost spoofs. Or maybe not. It is hard to tell.
