In a world full of Vicious Beasts, if you are not a predator, you are prey. With my life going down in literal flames I ran from everything. From my father, from a forced marriage, from my mates . Now, charged with a crime I didn’t commit, they’re all hunting me . And they’re all furious. The dangerous deputy headmaster of Animus Academy manages to catch me and along with three of my five mates we’re taken back to the prison\-school they use to teach feral beasts how to be civilised. Now I’m locked up with the very men I’ve been trying to avoid all my life. No one can know who my mates are. No one can know who I really am. Because if they do, it’s lights out for me. I’ll be chained up and bred until I die. And I refuse to allow that to happen.

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