Max Booth III bestaat niet. Als u hem in het openbaar ziet, bel dan onmiddellijk de lokale autoriteiten, maar laten we eerlijk zijn: dan is het waarschijnlijk al te laat. Zijn literaire werk duikt in de duistere hoeken van de menselijke psyche, vaak grenzend aan horror en het bizarre, en dwingt lezers hun eigen angsten en onzekerheden onder ogen te zien. Booth's stijl is rauw en verontrustend, laat een blijvende indruk achter en zet aan tot nadenken over de aard van de werkelijkheid.
A family on the verge of self-destruction finds themselves isolated in their bathroom during a tornado warning. "Don't look now but Max Booth III is one of the best in horror, and he's only getting started." --Josh Malerman, author of BIRD BOX and MALORIE
Sleep is just a myth created by mattress salesmen. Isaac, a night auditor of a hotel somewhere in the surreal void of Texas, is sick and tired of his guests. When he clocks in at night, he's hoping for a nice, quiet eight hours of Netflix-bingeing and occasional masturbation. What he doesn't want to do is fetch anybody extra towels or dive face-first into somebody's clogged toilet. And he sure as hell doesn't want to get involved in some trippy owl conspiracy or dispose of any dead bodies. But hey...that's life in the hotel business. Welcome to The Nightly Disease. Please enjoy your stay.
