This month, we’re featuring Pauline Yates’ upcoming release, DREAM JOB. Published by Black Hare Press, you can pick up your copy here from 25th November.
Charles Banks, an adventurous English backpacker, arrives at Murchison Station for an enticing job opportunity. But what starts as a warm welcome from owner Vern Cardwell and his wife, Martha, quickly turns into a sinister nightmare.
As Charles delves deeper into his role at the remote wheat station, he uncovers the truth behind the high employee turnover and the grim fate that awaits him.
Trapped and at the mercy of Vern's malevolence, Charles must navigate a treacherous web of deceit and danger, all while clinging to the hope of surviving this isolated and ominous farmstead.
