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

Fueled by online trends, a shift in the American zeitgeist has led to the instatement of the Lazarus Act, legalizing 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 a disturbingly witty tale about lust, loss, and the last taboo.

Gross and uncomfortable but it kept me hooked, very interesting concept and I loved the reviews and blog posts in between chapters. I was really hoping for a twist at the end and am kinda disappointed it never came- however I’m glad that the MMC got what was coming to him.

Honestly a well written splatterpunk

This was 3.5 for me. It is definitely different and a bit morbid. I liked it and recommend if you like “corpse love”! The audio is really good and brings a lot of life to all the death i. This story. A fun different read very unique! When necrophiles are legally able to enjoy their fantasies.

this book was incredibly well written. it isnt my cup of tea, but it was written very well. I kept thinking about the word choices and the pacing while awful scenes were unfolding. the narrator did a great job too.

Need to be ready for this one

What. The. F#*k! This was a wild ride. I particularly loved the Motel Styx reviews sprinkled throughout. They reminded me of the kinds of reviews a book like this will often have, equally split between people who love it and people who hate it.

Duuude!

This story grossed me out but had several complicated and deep characters I really enjoyed.

A disgusting good time

It was an interesting and easy read. I literally couldn't turn it off. Wasn't expecting to be left pondering ethical questions in an extreme horror novel, but there I was.

Disgusting in more ways than one... Loved it!

I went into this book blind and oooh my goodness. I was SHOOK. But ended up absolutely LOVING it. It was so throw sty and at no point did I know where the story was going. The narration was absolutely phenomenal.

What a TRIP!

This was such a good and unique story! It sounded a little strange i admit and it wasn’t very gross as I thought. The twists at the end I loved. If your on the fence about this read it for sure!

So I didn’t know too much going in. I knew it was a disturbing thriller. Once I got past the premise, and descriptions of everything, the story was quite good and well written. Very entertaining.
