MOTEL 430-71: Paranoia

We are at the end of the 18th century. Europe is still plagued by medieval superstitions, pagan religious movements and endless violence, while the plague takes its toll. The young protagonist of the story begins his wanderings when the alcoholic and awkward antique dealer, in whose shop the young man works, assigns him a very strange mission. He will have to walk a great distance to find out where they are and bring back some antiques from a distant antique shop, which for years has been rumored to be closed. With danger and terror lurking everywhere, the boy arrives at an abandoned motel. He sees it as an oasis, after so many hours of trekking in unknown and scary places. Not knowing what's to come, he knocks on the motel door. His wanderings in a Hell on Earth have only just begun.

Endless nights of terror, journeys through rainy and frozen places, a distant hill with blasphemous secrets, constant unpleasant surprises beyond the limits of all logic, abundant and unbearable suffering, macabre scenes, nightmares, violence, hatred, sadism, bloodshed, claustrophobia. Absolute insanity, captured in a breathtaking novel.

MOTEL 430-71: Necropolis

Οdays in exile from the world pass. But not the nights either. The paranoid destiny of the young protagonist seems to have been forgotten for now, as he tries to pick up his wreckage.

Once the little one thought he had life. There, in the antique shop of horrors. He didn't know yet. Until he entered the motel and the ruthless wind of fate began to drag him closer and closer to Hell.

Except, after all, the big mistake wasn't his. It all happened long before he was born. In a mine. On the southern coast of Persia, in the 6th BC. century. There, where horror and disgust exceed in morbidity even the most ominous perversions of cosmogony. There, where the secrets were supposed to remain buried forever.

Evil was not cut off from the beginning of…

MOTEL 430-71: Malice

Τthe darkness brightens, the days fade and boredom seems to disappear. As a concept, as a feeling and as a destiny. Except the shifts weren't smooth.

The snows in the remote farmhouse became a thing of the past. Summer came, autumn followed, and the young hero of life still wonders how the Devil has forgotten him. Otherwise he was used to them. As much as he tries to expel from himself the entirety of his past, it seems at any moment ready to devour him. Day and night his great fear remains the same and unchanging:

Maybe, after all, this world wasn't for me?

In the midst of it all, the ghosts of regret seem to fade. Except that the curtain of memory, behind which they fought day and night to hide, was nothing but the transparent veil of invincible death. And all this, until an unexpected  night, an invisible hand pulls the veil...

Unbearable days, martyr nights, pain, rage and poverty, intertwined with non-existent compassion and lost hopes, offer the reader everything he longs for and at the same time is afraid to face, through the eyes of the little hero, through whom he seeks his own, special redemption.

In the third and last part of the trilogy Motel 430-71, terror incites rage and rage always brings sorrow…
