Inspiration comes from all sorts of places. But when a good friend sends you a message that contains the the words, “Only the dead get off at Kymlinge,” my storyteller instincts were immediately perked. This book was originally called The Return & Other Stories but when I was sent that message, it changed everything including the next set of stories. Hence, Only The Dead Get Off At Kymlinge was born., improving it no end.
What was Kymlinge? What have the dead got to do with it? I had to know. I discovered that it was an abandoned train station outside Stockholm. When I read the history, I was excited. Its haunted reputation was just too good to resist but why would something like this bring the Time Warriors into it?
It had to be something personal so Jacke has come looking for a missing friend. It leads them to Kymlinge where they find something far more strange than simply a ghost train.
Trapped aboard a train that is made from many different eras, they find a deadly conductor and comatose people from the past to the present. But the greatest danger is still to come. Not only does this reveal the consequences of past actions but opens a terrifying new threat through Michael’s carelessness.
This is also the first book where I introduced variant covers. I liked them all and couldn’t decide on which one to go with so released all three. It works for comics so why not the Time Warriors book series?
A story set on a train is featured in all sorts of shows but I always wanted to do things slightly differently than the norm. it was originally going to be a happy ending with the rain mystery solved and the passengers back where they belong including Jacke’s friend. However, I was sitting in a carpark one day, waiting on my wife doing the shopping, it occurred to me. Why don’t I go with a disaster ending where nothing is wrapped up in a nice little bow and a brand new threat is revealed.
This threat comes in the form of one Geyron. The Y is silent but Geyron will be a major force especially in Sasquatch Darklands. What Geyron is and what he is planning will have a major impact on the Time Warriors universe.
