Signal Failure by David Wailing.

Follow Emily as she catches the Night Tube home at 03:47 westbound along the Piccadilly Line. The London Underground is a reliable form of public transport, what could possibly go wrong? Her train has stopped between stations, far below the night time streets. Then the doubts set in and Emily has to decide to stay in her seat or do something.


I thought this book was BRILLIANT. David creates an intense atmosphere through his very descriptive high quality writing. There is so much tension as David gives you the feel of being a Transport for London passenger. This tale is creepy and builds on the fear that can grasp any passenger without notice on the London Underground. Signal Failure is highly charged and the horror exposed is an exciting read. David really taps into the buzz and feel of the London Underground. He plays on the fears of what lurks behind the walls of the mysterious ghost stations.


Signal Failure was simply a joy to read. It is only 37 pages long but although it is short, it is VERY GOOD. This is great for seasoned readers and ideal as a gateway book for newbie readers. Enjoy this 5 star book which should appeal to everyone, not just Londoners or transport enthusiasts. Oh, and the brilliant ending just hangs with you. Think about that when you spot pedestrians waiting to cross the road at junctions. London can be quite anonymous and now you know why. 

Signal Failure is available as an Amazon Kindle eBook and was written in 2016.
