New Stanton

New Stanton sits on the shores of a dried-up prehistoric sea-the kind of town you pass through without staying, a streak of neon across a night-traveling mind. That's exactly where Harold Dean finds himself trapped, menaced by a rockabilly psycho, a mysterious German doctor, and his own fragmented past. While his prized 1964 Chevy Malibu is the key to his escape, he just can't remember where he left it.New Stanton is a postmodern night journey told through the eyes of Harold Dean, a shady alcoholic, as he explores a town where identities morph, angels tend bar, and everyone is a demon. Searching for his Malibu, Harold must avoid Dr. Freytag's diabolical plan to turn him into a Boltzmann brain while navigating the complexities of a tender librarian and a seductive femme fatale, assisting a catatonic skateboarder, and ultimately rebuilding a New Stanton by solving the mysteries of his own dysfunction.
