CHERRYWOOD LODGE IS HAUNTED, AND THANK FUCK FOR ITS GHOSTS . . .
Rebecca Malone has problems. Not just the alcohol. Not just her husband's inane attempts at writing a bestselling novel, their teenage daughter's promiscuity, or her certifiable mother. Not even her lover, who wants to take her husband's place in Cherrywood Lodge, the famous estate she now calls home. Her biggest issues start the moment she discovers a chest of ancient mahjong tiles in the basement of her new house, causing her life to spin out of control with hallucinations, sexual deviances, and grisly murders. Is the mahjong game haunted? Or are Rebecca's problems part of a different game, started before she was born?

There was a time in my life when I fancied myself somewhat of a musician. I wasn't overly talented but I played some decent, functional blues and rock bass. And I still remember the first time I heard Victor Wooten play and how inspiring it was to see what could be done with that instrument.It also made me want to stick my head in the toilet.
I had this exact same feeling, reading The Train Derails In Boston.
I've not read much or, really any erotic tilted fiction before. Not a judgment on the genre, it's just not my thing. Here's the thing, though. If the singer has the chops, the music is going to elevate. And this story is so well done, there was never a point where I thought the sex seemed out of place or shoehorned in to the story. This felt real, authentic and honest. This was masterful work.
One thing I wanted to praise in particular was the layering of the narrative. Most of the story takes place in flashback, jumping around to various points in time and from the perspective of different characters. I firmly believe that roughly nine out of ten writers would take this structure and turn it into a hot mess, and I include myself as one of those nine. McHugh pulls this off in such fine form, I can't think of any better testament to her talents and qualities as a writer.
Train Derails is an exciting and frightening book, with images and content that will disturb. And as it draws you into the narrative, it gradually hands over the information you need until you hit that blissful moment when you get a glimpse of what is going on, only to realize how much more there really is. And it all builds up to possibly one of the most brilliantly clever final lines I have ever read in a book.

The Train Derails in Boston edition by Jessica McHugh Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I've read several of Ms. McHugh's books and have come to expect a high level of creativity, character development and descriptive narrative. This one does not disappoint. With her signature plot twists in full play I should have known as I read that what seemed to be obvious would not be but The Train Derails In Boston absolutely floored me with it's subtlety in places where subtlety was not envisioned until well after the fact. Three-dimensional, flawed characters coupled with very human situations and very INhuman situations makes this one a page turner. I'm not getting into plot points or summations here except to say the last 2 or 3 sentences are a huge AHA! You need to read this one for yourself. By yourself. Thunderstorms optional...
Yet another disturbing, no-holds-barred story from Ms. McHugh. This one is somewhat of a crossover novel, as it's a little hard to decide whether it's primarily horror or porn, but even when it's porn, it's pretty horrific! It's the story or Rebecca Malone and her small dysfunctional family, and the mind-bending events that transpire after they move into the Cherrywood Lodge. It's sometimes hard to decide whether events are actually happening in real time, or if they are figments of Becca's alcoholic imagination, because she is way into the alcohol. But when her husband Peter and daughter Taylor also begin to have bizarre sexual episodes, we begin to wonder whether they're alcohol induced hallucinations or actual haunting events perpetrated by the group of ghosts that seem to inhabit the lodge. When her mother is released from the asylum where she's lived for decades and comes to stay with them, everything escalates. Is this a simple case of house-haunting, or a more diabolical tale of past sins and ruthless revenge?
This is quite a disturbing blend of horror and porn, with a generous dose of madness thrown in for good measure. At times, it definitely felt as if easily 50% of the pages in this story were soaked in a mix of every imaginable bodily fluid!
It's going to be difficult to describe this book without using words that are prohibited by . But, I'm gonna try anyway.
I first discovered Jessica McHugh in an anthology of short stories. I liked her style, so I followed her (not literally - I'm not a stalker). Ms. McHugh's writing is funny, engaging, twisted and, frankly, a little scary. I'd been curious for a while to see what her longer fiction was like, so I bought THE TRAIN DERAILS IN BOSTON.
Wow.
I'm not going to tell you anything about the plot, because you need to read it yourself. I will say that there is a hell of a lot of sex in it. Graphic, hot-under-your-belt-as-you're-reading sex. And, terrifying, strange things happening to people who probably deserve most of it, but you still cringe. The story starts at almost the end, and then bounces all over time, slowly exposing the threads of a seriously dysfunctional family until you see the whole sordid tapestry revealed. And, it's an ugly picture indeed.
And, the title? I kept wondering, all the way through, why it was called that. But, oh man, it's perfect. And you don't find out why until the last two paragraphs of the book. Brilliant. I don't give a lot of five-star reviews, because not too many things really earn it, in my opinion. This one did. In spades.
Erotic horror noir is my favorite cross-genre hybrid, and Jessica McHugh is now one of my favorite writers. This was my first exposure (as it were) to her wet 'n' wild voice. Her nineteenth (!) novel immediately plunges off a steep cliff deep into a lusciously lurid fever dream that evokes the sensuous, surrealistic imagery I typically associate with the best of classic transgressive cinema, from Lucio Fulci to Dario Argento to David Cronenberg to David Lynch. However, her incredibly polished, poetic prose catapults the material (and the reader) far beyond the perimeters of routine smut. The first person narration is as emotionally naked as it is sexually explicit, smoothly weaving together psychologically complex layers of pornographic promiscuity, domestic drama and vivid violence into a compelling, seductive, and extremely entertaining tapestry of torrid terrors. This is gritty, graphic sexploitation from a very confident, commanding and powerful feminine point of view. I can't recommend it enough.
There was a time in my life when I fancied myself somewhat of a musician. I wasn't overly talented but I played some decent, functional blues and rock bass. And I still remember the first time I heard Victor Wooten play and how inspiring it was to see what could be done with that instrument.
