When her father writes one day and asks her to join him, she joyously sets off, only to discover that he has been killed. Choon-yi sees the railway and the giant train engines that her father died for, and she is filled with an urge to paint them. But her work disappoints her until a ghostly presence beckons her to board the train where she meets the ghosts of the men who died building the railway. She is able to give them peace by returning their bones to China where they were born.

Fiction. Is a ghost engine alive? Is it relatable? Christian TeBordo weaves between narratives in search of the answer in GHOST ENGINE: STORIES, a Bridge Eight Press Fiction Prize Winner. A convicted murderer teaches why the rainbow is the most insidious of all metals. Fashion designer Gordon Gartrelle adapts to his identity as fashion designer Gordon Gartrelle. Frag and Watt take turns with a wrench, hoping to assemble something that just might work, if only for a moment. From scenes of chilling hilarity to an underlying absurdity, GHOST ENGINE keeps the haunt alive long after you've finished reading. "Make no mistake: GHOST ENGINE is original to its bones. TeBordo's prose hits as hard as a hammer, his characters haunt your dreams. The satire never tires and somehow you wind up laughing and loving every page you turn."--Tom Williams "Given that we live in so bizarre a multiverse, these brilliant, irreverent, ingenious stories may seem impolite at times. Vicious. Disturbing. The book may cause you to laugh out loud at something you'd rather not admit you find funny, or bring tears to your eyes on behalf of a character you'd rather not admit you find human--it might hurt your feelings--but GHOST ENGINE loves you. GHOST ENGINE only hopes for the best for you. All that GHOST ENGINE really wants, in the end, is to see you smile that pretty smile of yours while it sets your house on fire."--Camille Bordas "TeBordo speaks to the troubling light and the comforting darkness of our present situation. He writes from the core of our shared junkheap and excavates beauty, buries it again, breaks it out anew."--Juan Martinez

This third book in the Cascade Mountain Railroad Mysteries series, based on a page from American history, follows a trio of mischievous and determined young crime solvers. It is 1926 in the remote camp town of Scenic, Washington, and Billy, Dannie, and Finn have more on their minds than the upcoming Fourth of July pageant. When Billy finds a mysterious burlap sack containing a threatening note, he and his best friends have a brand new case to solve. The trail leads the trio to a planned railroad heist of a special train carrying raw silk worth millions from the Seattle shipyards to the East Coast textile mills. But time is running out as the three friends frantically search for clues to the identity of the robber before the targeted "ghost train" passes through Scenic. Anne Capeci's fast-paced historical series offers young readers a satisfying mystery, well-drawn characters, and an authentic portrait of the rough and tumble life of a western camp town in the 1920s.
