✦ Synopsis

Prison is harsh enough, but as a foreigner (“farang”) in a strange
land, jail time is an even more horrifying reality. Rotting in the
Bangkok Hilton is a collection of short stories chronicling T. M.
Hoy’s descent into the harrowing world of Southeast Asian prison
life. Through his eyes, readers will experience the bizarre events
of daily life in a Thai maximum security prison: feel the weight of
the chains he wears, the stomachaches from lack of food, witness
the murders, drug overdoses, torture, and unbridled cruelty that
ensues. Sentenced to life in prison, Hoy does his best to accept the fate
he’s been given. While attempting to “adjust” to this third-world
hellhole, he contracts tuberculosis and nearly loses his life. 

Hoy’s stories are brutal and his words are heart-wrenching. Go
places you’ve only seen in your nightmares, to a world in which few
survive, and none emerge unscathed . . . and if you’re lucky, you’ll
die before you really begin to suffer
