NECROPOLITAN PRESS Opens Its Doors, Again PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 22 April 2008

NECROPOLITAN PRESS has reopened its doors and will publish a new novello by Paul Tramblay, THE HARLIQUIN AND THE TRAIN. NECROPOLITAN had been dormant since 2001.

Forthcoming novella from critically-acclaimed author Paul G. Tremblay, expanding upon the short story of the same name (published in Compositions for the Young and Old, 2004, rev. 2005).

The first release heralding the return of Jeffrey Thomas's Necropolitan Press, this is an experimental fiction narrative that requires you to interact with it using a simple yellow highlighter. The Harlequin & the Train is a novella about paranoia, choice, and the horror of individual and collective consequence.

Cover art shown is for the ARC (Advance Reader Copy); final artwork forthcoming.

Plot Summary:
Rudy has only been on the job as a train engineer for a few months. While at the helm of a commuter train headed to Boston, Massachusetts, it hits a harlequin clown, and in the chaotic aftermath, he witnesses the horrific and inexplicable actions of a group of people who were seemingly laying in wait for the accident. There are other accidents and as the group infiltrates his life (present and past), and as random global acts of violence and suffering seem to be connected, what Rudy believes about others and himself will be forever warped as he makes his final choice.
