Nell'ascolto di Hotel Thoreau verrete trasportati in un mondo denso di realismo soprannaturale, in una raccolta di racconti brevi che toccano il genere horror, psicologico e grottesco attraverso atmosfere cupe, di prigionia ed esilaranti. Emmanuele Rossi riesce a sfiorare genere dopo genere senza forzature e senza rimanerne incastrato.
