Tokyo's Lost Souls: The Girl on the Train

by Tristan Vick, Elizabeth Rubio (Editor)

TOKYO, JAPAN… Masahiro Takaguchi is a senior in high school preoccupied with his college entrance exams. One day, while returning home for summer vacation, he meets a mysterious girl on the train who seduces him and, in the course of a single train ride, changes his life forever.

Mika Arakida goes home every night to an abusive stepfather and alcoholic mother who cares more about protecting her monster of a husband than her own daughter. When Mika’s stepfather forcibly breaks down her door and enters her bedroom one night, she fears the worst. But, luckily, Mika is well prepared and hatches a plan to escape years of abuse.

When Masahiro receives a strange summons from the police, he has no choice but to convene with a murderer who desires to speak with him. But who could she be? The only way to get to the bottom of the mystery is to go meet with the killer and find out what she wants.

About the author

In elementary school, Tristan Vick once wrote about an alien which came to earth and ate his all of his classmates. His teacher made him tear it up and write a *different more egalitarian story. Apparently, being the sole survivor of the alien attack wasn't egalitarian enough. Now he writes horror, post-apocalytpic, survival, sci-fi, western, erotica, thriller, romance novels and he's not afraid of mixing his genres either.

Tristan Vick is the Author of the zombie/survival/horror series BITTEN: RESURRECTION published by Winlock Press, and exciting new imprint of Permuted Press.

He is also the author of The Scarecrow & Lady Kingston: Rough Justice, also through Winlock Press, which follows the story of a magical scarecrow that joins the LAPD.

This year (2016) Tristan Vick will release three exciting science fiction novels through his self-owned publishing imprint Regolith Publictions, including Robotica: Ultra Heavy, a cyber punk novel, Exoverse: Invasion of the Draugr, a dark sci-fi horror with ancient astronaut and alien conspiracies, and Little Red Gauntlet, a steam punk fairy tale re-telling of the beloved Little Red Riding Hood fable.

Tristan Vick graduated from Montana State University with degrees in English Literature and Asian Cultural Studies. He speaks fluent Japanese and lives with his wife and kids in Japan. When he's not commuting on the train or teaching English, he spends his time reading, writing, blogging, and eating sara udon.
