Some stories don't just tell you about grief, they take you by the hand and walk you into it. Passengers of the Underworld does exactly that.
Cole Whitmore lives in a town that has quietly died around him. Once full of life, busy with trains arriving and departing and children playing in the streets, it has become hollow, empty shops, vacant houses, and silence where there used to be noise. Since the accident, and the loss of his sister, Cole himself has gone hollow too. Fear has been replaced by numbness, as though feeling anything at all is a luxury he can no longer afford.
Passengers of the Underworld is ideal for middle-grade and young adult readers who love haunting tales with unexpected turns

Passengers of the underworld was a great short story. An intriguing mystery that grabs you from the beginning and makes you want to listen to more. I was so involved in the story and wondered what was happening to Cole. As you deep dive into the journey with Cole and the mystery with the pocket watch and its effect on time. It was a great ending and makes you want to read the next book. I love this short story.
