What to expect

Stanley Maddox lives a mundane life in a nondescript town. His wife is cheating on him, his colleagues at work don’t recognize him, and he has recently noticed a mysterious creature darting its way through his house.

When he notices a flap of skin on his face, he begins pulling. Beneath his skin lies another person, an evil person, with the power to change his life forever.

Critics Review

  • “Menacing, unpredictable, and full of nightmares to shock us into a new reality.”

    William Boyle, author of Gravesend

  • “Twines the mundane and the absurd together in a dizzying spirograph to produce an angst-ridden picture of modern society.”

    Steph Post, author of Miraculum

  • “Jon Bassoff is the Kafka of Colorado, a writer who spins feverish nightmares out of the insane realities of modern life. Horrifying and hilarious, The Drive-Thru Crematorium is his darkest trip yet”

    Jake Hinkson, Grand Prix Award–winning author

  • “Toss Kafka, David Lynch, and a pinch of Flannery O’Connor in a blender and you just might end up with The Drive-Thru Crematorium. A thoroughly baffling, unsettling, and mesmerizing journey into madness.”

    Dave Zeltserman, author of Everybody Lies in Hell

  • “A nightmarish fever-dream of a novel that wrestles with the concept of identity and giving into our own worst impulses…Try not to scream as it races toward its frightening and shattering conclusion.”

    Lee Matthew Goldberg, author of The Mentor
