When a wealthy man commissions an elaborate coffin shaped like a train to carry him to heaven, it stirs more than curiosity -- it stirs questions. His younger brother, left behind to manage the arrangements, isn't sure if the train is a tribute to the man's life... or to his ego.

Set in a West African village and inspired by the real-life artistry of Ghanaian coffin makers, Blue Train to Heaven is a quietly powerful meditation on legacy, pride, and the strange ways we try to control the stories told about us after we're gone.

With spare, lyrical prose and surreal detail, this story asks: Is a final journey ever really final?

Includes The Blue Train to Heaven and The Geegaws.
