‘Stations’ is certainly an eclectic group of stories, but I enjoyed
every one – well-written and engaging stuff. I imagine that it
would be ideal for dipping in and out of while you’re passing the
time between Kensal Rise and Clapham Junction…

…Caroline Hardman’s ‘Bloody Marys and a bowl of Pho’ (Hoxton) is a
modern-day, urban take on the vampire narratives so current at the
moment. It is well-written and funny. ‘Platform Zero’ (Haggerston)
by Michael Trimmer also offers a quirky version of another,
familiar theme – that of the parallel universe. ‘The Beetle’ by
Ellie Stewart (Wapping) is also well-paced and moving in its
portrayal of a broken relationship. Peter Morgan’s ‘Mr Forest Hill
Station’ (Forest Hill) also stands out due to its tender depiction
of the bond between strangers, meeting occasionally in the big
city.
