Description
The Bus on Thursday is a darkly funny tale about a woman's retreat to a remote Australian town and the horrors awaiting her. After a bad breakup and a cancer diagnosis, Eleanor Mellett's life has taken a drastic turn.
She finds solace in Talbingo, a small town that needs a primary-school teacher, but soon discovers it's not as idyllic as it seems. The town is plagued by strange occurrences, from an unsettling priest to unstable kids obsessed with their former teacher, Miss Barker. As Eleanor settles into her new life, she must confront the darkness head-on.
This wicked and weird novel is a wild ride that blends humor, horror, and poignancy. With its unique blend of dark comedy and supernatural elements, The Bus on Thursday will appeal to readers who enjoy Maria Semple, Stephen King, and Henry James's The Turn of the Screw.
