  TRAINRIDE INTO TERROR…
  
  The train that brought pretty young American Holly Maxwell from London to Scotland plunged her into a strange and unknown world. Her destination was an ancient castle that seemed to have emerged intact from the dark depths of the past. Awaiting her was a future shadowed by mystery and menace.

  Holly had followed a treacherous lure from the sunlit world of the living to this place of eternal darkness and death -- and now the trap had been sprung and the ultimate in horror had begun…
