"Sci-fi narrative inspired by Philip K. Dick. Each burst packs an eerie, imagistic wallop." - Boston Phoenix review. Joy Motel is an unconventional sci-fi narrative that was written in real time in 140 character bursts on Twitter. It takes its freeform, disconnected style from the randomness of the Twitterstream itself. This is a novel for the 21st century, captured in quick bytes by a 5-time Bram Stoker Award Finalist and a Gold Award winning adman, who are transcribing the 'brainstream' flowing inside the neural net of its lead character, Kindred. At the center of his struggle, a psychiatrist he calls Psychdaddy is attempting to resolve Kindred's repressed childhood memories of the 1945 Trinity nuclear blast in New Mexico and decode his father's role in a radical collective of bomb-worshippers called the 12 Disciples.
