This Train is For by Bernie McGill

In June 2022, No Alibis Press will publish This Train is For by Bernie McGill.

Bernie McGill’s award-winning stories have been widely praised for their emotional depth and lyrical language.

She is a writer of profound sensitivity and observation whose masterful deployment of linguistic precision and economy enables her to plumb the depths of human experience while neatly avoiding sentimentalism.

This new collection, the first since 2013, contains unpublished stories along with a number of stories previously contained within award winning anthologies.
