Horror Express: Horror Stories, Poetry and Surreal Fantasy
A collection of horror stories, poetry, and surreal fantasy by Ron W Koppelberger.
The text combines three distinct literary forms to create a varied reading experience. Sundown Shadows provides the foundation with its focus on shadows and low lights. Strange Forest follows with poetic entries that emphasize dreamlike qualities and inspiration. Skeleton Dance completes the volume by presenting surreal dramas alongside reflections on daily existence. Koppelberger uses this arrangement to move the reader from fear through contemplation to fantasy. The partial preview of the final work suggests a deeper narrative world beyond these pages.
Published in 2012 by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform, this work sits within the tradition of independent horror and supernatural fiction. It reflects a period where self-publishing allowed authors to blend genre boundaries without commercial constraints.
