Some places don't let go. Some places rewrite time. And some places feed on the people who wander in.After the nightmare at South of the Border, Al Monaco thought he had escaped.

Benny the Bone, a washed-up comedian with a dark history, is coming to town. Doris, the waitress who has seen too much, is starting to question everything. And somewhere in the back rooms of the diner, something is waiting.From the world of South of the Border: The Motel That Eats Time comes a brutal, slow-burn Southern Gothic horror novel about the traps we build for ourselves - and the ones that have been waiting for us all along.Some diners serve more than burgers and shakes. Some places eat time. And some guests are never meant to leave.
