“The way the author intertwined very real threats with hair-rising, blood-curdling nightmares was remarkably clever.” -Lana Chacra
After her parents divorced, Gracie and her mother moved into an old, two-story, riverfront home, where demons were just as real as the terrible bus ride that Gracie took to and from school each day. When a disturbed boy threatens to harm Gracie and her mother, the young girl becomes trapped between a world of nightmares and reality. After weeks of verbal and physical abuse on the bus, Gracie is faced with her worst fear, and one horrifying night will change her life forever.
A Word from the Author
In our society today, we hear more and more about the battle against bullying. When I was a young girl, I was forced to fight this battle each and every day alone. My childhood experience with a terrifying bully served as the inspiration behind this short horror story. Although my tale is partly based on real life events, the ending is fiction; a what if or worst case scenario. Who will survive?
