Clowns at Midnight by Terry Dowling. Very Australian. Very intriguing. Here’s a bit of blurb from the publisher’s website:
Clowns at Midnight is a powerful and spellbinding tale of fear and wonder, of unexpected transformations and genuine redemption. David’s discoveries in this almost overlooked corner of rural Australia lead him full-square into both the universal mystery at the forgotten heart of Western civilisation and the deepest, darkest secrets of the human condition.
one of those books you think about even when you’re NOT reading it.

Ooh, thanks. I meant to pre-order this straight after WorldCon, and it slipped my mind. On its way to me now!
seriously, I hate clowns and I hate stories about writers. But I’m loving this book
Great cover!
