Freight is an intense and gripping Single Shot novella by Texan author Ed Kurtz.
The story follows Enoch and Doc, two down-and-out men working as railway brakemen in an impoverished Texas town.

The train carriage holds more than just metal, and soon lives are at stake as an unfathomable evil reveals itself.
Set in Blackwood, Texas, the tale unfolds with heartbreak, tragedy, and moving moments, all vividly capturing the sights, smells, and language of 1973 Texas. This classic drifter story delves into the lives of its flawed yet compelling characters, delivering a suspenseful and atmospheric reading experience.
