Summary

"In Night Bus, a young woman wearing round glasses finds herself on an adventurous late night bus ride that constantly makes detours through increasingly fantastical landscapes. Meanwhile a young cartoonist returns home after art school and tries his hand at becoming a working artist while watching over his aging grandmother whose memory is deteriorating... Night Bus blends autobiography, horror, and fantasy into a vibrantly detailed surreal world that shows a distinct talent surveying his past... Nature infringes upon the man-made world via gigantism and explosive abundance--the images in Night Bus are often unsettling, not aimed to horrify, but to upset the balance of modern life."--
