New Review - John George Lang - The Ghost Upon the Rail

The latest addition to the website is my review of Australian author John George Lang's short story, The Ghost Upon the Rail.

The Ghost Upon the Rail can lay claim to being one of Australia's very first detective and ghost stories, by one of Australia's very first novelists. The story itself, however, suffers from a lack of directed narration; a Poirot or Maigret reacting to, and being a participant in, the story, would have helped to create suspense and interest. A failed attempt, but historically interesting.
