About the book
NEW STANTON follows Mister Harold Dean, a shady alcoholic, who wakes up with one hell of a hangover at The Starlite Inn, New Stanton’s dingy motel. The only problem is—New Stanton doesn’t exist. Join Mister Dean on this postmodern night journey through buried memories, liminal spaces, and treachery as he searches for his sole means of escape, a blue 1964 Chevy Malibu. Will he be able to find his car before the evil Dr. Freytag does? Can Mister Dean trust a host of bizarre characters to help him solve the mysteries of his own dysfunction and accept that New Stanton is exactly where he needs to be? The answers to these questions and many more lie scattered across New Stanton, a town that sits on the edge of a dried-up prehistoric sea, a town that exists inside and down. Think TWIN PEAKS meets Ray Bradbury’s DANDELION WINE meets THE SHINING.
