The Light from Dead Stars

By Heidi Amsinck. Strange things happen when Henrik Borg sleeps on the train from Copenhagen and wakes not in Helsingor but in a mysterious, disused railway siding.

In these three specially-commissioned tales by Heidi Amsinck, Denmark is a place of twilight and shadows: a mysterious place where strange and often dark things happen. In 'Last Train to Helsingor' Henrik Borg has done well for himself; he drive a Mercedes to and from work though prefers the train from Copenhagen to Helsingor, because it is predictable.

But things start to go wrong when Borg falls asleep, and wakes up in a mysterious, deserted railway siding.

Heidi has written numerous short stories including The Chanterelles of Ostvig (2008), Conning Mrs Vinterberg (2007) and Detained (2005), all of which were produced by Sweet Talk for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4.
