From the back cover
"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."

Review
Disease
is a headlong-into-an-often-hilarious nightmare of customer service, predatory
owls, unsavory characters and gory f**k-ups that straddles horror, speculative
fiction, neo-noir, comedy and other genres with distinctive aplomb. Obviously,
this is not a book for those seeking a happy-go-lucky read, or those who are
easily queasy. Nightly is one of the
best books I have read this year.
