Stories From The Motel Sick

By Michael Allen Rose
Stories From The Motel Sick by Michael Allen Rose digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Stories From The Motel Sick is a genre-bending anthology featuring new stories from authors of horror, bizarro fiction, sci-fi, erotica, noir, and so much more. Each story takes place at the Motel Sick, a strange, metaphysical motel on the edge of a highway leading to nowhere in particular. Inside, you'll find criminals and lovers, aliens, clones, loads of bones, tiny people, time travel, legacies of death, the virtuous and the vicious, grappling for money, power, fame, escape... everything and anything can be found somewhere inside the shifting interior of the Motel Sick. What most people don't understand is that although any form of currency is accepted at the Motel Sick (from cash to credit, from wampum to doubloons) the true price isn't always evident until its time to check out.

Stories From The Motel Sick Reviews

3.5
“I was a backer on kickstarter and I am glad I did. I genuinely enjoyed every story in this anthalogy. My favorite was the kaiju story featured in Room 1653. It was genuinly funny and interesting to see the ways each author connected the stories together in unique ways that made it feel like it was really all the same hotel with( or maybe not) an Arby's in the parking lot. If you like weird fantasy and scifi with a good dose of horror thrown in you dont want to miss this one.”
