“This was genuinely my favourite book I read last year, and possibly one of my all-time favourites. It’s incredibly dark, and at times disgusting, but it is incredibly well written and when I finished the very last page I had to stare into the void for a little while.”

Synopsis

Tucked away in the Chihuahuan Desert lies a motel unlike any other…

Fuelled by online trends, a shift in the American zeitgeist has led to the instatement of the Lazarus Act, legalising the 'recreational use' of human corpses.

Ellis Mercer, recently bereaved, embarks on a secret mission to America's first 'necrotel' to recover his wife's remains, before her corpse and his memory of her are desecrated by the motel’s twisted membership.

As he uncovers the murky inner workings of Motel Styx, evading its suspicious staff and encountering a wild array of death-obsessed guests, he will be forced to face an unsettling truth: there is more than one way to define love.

Motel Styx is an explicit, disturbing, witty tale about lust, loss, and the last taboo.
