About this ebook
He doesn't remember the days before the sickness. He only knows the world since it went bad. The empty towns. The rusted-out cars. The corpses, everywhere. He doesn't know why he rides the rails. He just does. The trains never take him away from the ruin. The trains never take him anywhere. Until one day they carry him to a little town called Black Hole, Kentucky, and he meets a strange woman who knows him. Who knows everything.

This is the first work of Jason Gurley's that I have read, and I think I'll be reading more (I have his book, The Caregiver on my "books to read" list). It was odd that I read The Last Rail Rider, immediately after completing Isaac Asimov's The Last Question. Both novels deal with the question of the end of the world, and what comes next. This was a very interesting story that kept me interested as events unfolded. The end initially left me feeling a little unfulfilled, but I still thoroughly enjoyed this short story.

Not a bad, but it is a short story and not a novel - a novella at best.

Unique little story. Cute and terrifying all at the same time.
