Description: "Delightfully bizarre . . . Eleanor Mellet steps straight out of a chick-lit plot line into WICKER MAN-type horror . . . This book deserves to find its (cult) audience. For readers who enjoy their horror elegantly twisted." -- Library Journal , starred review "Narrated by a cybercentury Wife of Bath, this bawdy tale suspends both our disbelief and our scruples." -- Kirkus " The Bus on Thursday is a delirious, exhilarating ride that you can't predict and you won't forget. Like Rosemary's Baby recast with Bridget Jones, it will make you laugh and make you gasp. What more could you possibly want?" --Adam Sternbergh, author of The Blinds "I don't know that I've read a book before that made me laugh out loud while remaining totally unnerved, but The Bus on Thursday does just that. It's a novel overrun with a rapidly metastasizing host of unreliable outbursts, odd characters and suspicious events. I'd willingly bear witness to any world through sociopathic Eleanor's eyes." --Jac Jemc, author of The Grip of It "Bursting with raucous energy, while anchored in seriousness, The Bus on Thursday is an intoxicating horror-humor romp." --Jeff VanderMeer, author of Borne and The Southern Reach Trilogy "Shirley Barrett has crafted a quirky, one-of-a-kind, wild ride of a novel with demons, kangaroos, a missing schoolteacher, a remote town where things are strangely off-kilter, and a wonderfully bizarre cast of characters. The Bus on Thursday is a darkly funny and deeply unsettling novel you'll devour in one sitting." --Jennifer McMahon, author of The Winter People
