“The Australian film landscape now has a Texas Chainsaw Massacre to call its own.” “After viewing this purile trash, I can only assume cinema is dead.” “( The Last Motel) makes Maniac look like a Disney movie.” The changes may be minor, but the book now resembles a true novelisation, and better reflects the period when the The Last Motel was made, over thirty years ago. Now that Butch is gone, I have decided to go back into the novel and change those elements that modernised the story. But I also made the changes to please Butch, a small gesture on my part to maintain some distance from the movie that had caused such heartache in Butch’s life. The main reason was to help keep the ruse of it being an original novel, that I had conceived the story and characters at the same time it was written. When I wrote The Last Motel in 2002, I updated certain aspects of the story. But one night can last a lifetime at… The Last Motel. Who will live to see the dawn, and who will learn that this is one motel where checking in can be murder? They only wanted to stay one night. Madge Fraiser is the kindly old owner of the rustic mountain hideaway, which, during one long night, will become awash with blood, as the guests are stalked one by one by a sadistic killer. The Lodgepole Pine Motel, is the setting for nerve-wracking terror when a group of unsuspecting travellers find themselves trapped in a nightmare of violence and mayhem. RRP: Lettered (26 copies only) – AU$50/Standard – AU$20
