Here's some comments from writers and reviews:
"The style, content and characters of this dark, witty and surprisingly moving novel make David Quantick a Kurt Vonnegut for a new generation." --Sarah Pinborough, author of Behind Her Eyes
"I hadn't planned to read all of Night Train in one sitting, but I found myself doing just that. David Quantick's novel sets up a vast mystery and barrels deliriously toward a conclusion you'll never see coming like, I don't know, some kind of railed vehicle that operates in the dark." --David Wong, author of John Dies at the End
"A dark, nightmarish journey into a brand new sort of Twilight Zone, David Quantick's Night Train is breathless, frantic, and creepy as hell. You'll never see the twists coming." --Christopher Golden
"Starting a trip on Night Train is like waking up in a scary game with no rules. I enjoyed trying to work out the parameters of this strange new world with Garland and exploring its ever-more-surreal carriages. When we finally start to discover where we are, we realise there's no going back. Night train is pacy, amusing and gory and an entertaining companion on a dark journey." --Louis Greenberg
"Quantick presents a dark mystery of slowly uncovered memories in the midst of claustrophobic horror with skill and verve, creating a story that should satisfy any curious reader, genre fan or otherwise. Recommended for those who enjoy a little mystery or horror in their sf dystopias."
--Booklist
"At times horrifying, at other times laugh-out-loud funny, and always entertaining, Night Train is a ride unlike any other." --Foreword Magazine
"This imaginative horror novel is a page-turner." --Publishers Weekly
"Either a stone-cold classic that will last for decades if not centuries, or, at the very worst, the best summer read you'll have this year." --Sublime Horror
"[A] surreal and very clever read." --Horror DNA
