Motel Styx

De: Michelle von Eschen, Jonathan Butcher

Narrado por: Christian Shay

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.

Honestly a well written splatterpunk

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.

Super creative storyline

Great concept, story was original. Good to see new ideas to the genre, not just adding more gore

Unique story

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!

What did I just read

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.

Oof

Oof!!! Simply Deranged and I can’t say I did not fast forward through the details on the details ! It’s a truly evil ordeal and a good to know situation… sort to say . The story part was cool! :)
