Horror in which a clinical trial at a remote facility goes terribly
wrong. Among those who sign up to test ProSyntrex's latest drug
Pro9 are Adam (Aneurin Barnard), Joni (Alex Reid), Carmen (Skye
Lourie) and Jed (Oliver Coleman). The trial is highly secret, with
no-one, including the staff who administer injections, aware of who
is receiving the drug and who is in the placebo group. Shortly
after the trial begins it becomes clear that something has gone
wrong. There are unexplained disappearances, bizarre silhouettes
and screaming from behind locked doors. Locked inside the facility,
unaware of the true nature of events, the surviving patients and
staff must band together to try and find a way out of the
nightmare.
This wonderful publication provides a unique visual and historical
record of the West Cork Railway as rail enthusiast and historian
Chris Larkin warmly remembers the lifetime of the rail system in a
travelogue which allows readers to hop onto a West Cork train and
savour the journey of a bygone era. Highly illustrated with 188
images, while on board, you might even meet a celebrity! Fully
illustrated throughout, material from Irish Railway Records is
complemented by unique and rare images from private collections and
the London Illustrated News. Photographs, vintage posters,
postcards, colour slides, tickets, advertisements and images of
railway paraphernalia fill the pages. West Cork Railways takes the
reader time travelling from the famine right through to the rocking
1960s. Sit on a seat and be whisked from your West Cork home to
villages and towns carrying along the dreams, needs and aspirations
of bygone travellers. Observe railway life and the harmonious
existence of dogs, cats, hens, ducks and geese at the level
crossings. Railway enthusiasts will savour detailed accounts of
railway stations, length of lines together with steam locomotives
and wagons, while those interested in social history will enjoy
accounts of halt-keeper's houses and lists of people including
those that worked on the Cork - Beara line. The railway brought
much prosperity to the region; however, decades have passed since
its 1961 demise and the rapid physical decay of the line. West Cork
life continued, albeit in a different way. While today connectivity
is measured in speed, this railway is fondly remembered for linking
its people. Heartbreakingly, if it had held its ground for a
further 12 years until EEC entry (1973), the railway right of way
for future generations would have been preserved.
