Twelve Nails in the Coffin

    COMING SOON
    Twelve Nails in the Coffin

    “James Flynn’s stories chart a unique and terrifying interior landscape. Enter at your peril.”—Matthew Stokoe, author of Cows

    Murder, fame, technological dread, and twisted desire converge in Twelve Nails in the Coffin, a brutal collection of stories that drags the reader into the darkest recesses of the modern mind.

    Across twelve unsettling tales, you will move from the claustrophobic isolation of an obsessed artist's studio to the suffocating depths of a nightclub where life is cheap. Each story exposes a different fracture in human nature, ambition rotting into violence, loneliness curdling into obsession, and technology becoming a quiet accomplice to horror.

    Within these pages you will meet a desperate artist willing to destroy everything for recognition; an incel consumed by a woman he has never met; a landlord driven to the brink by a tenant who causes havoc; and a serial killer pushed over the edge by society's addiction to screens.

    Enter this casket at your own risk. There are no clean exits here.

    The lid is open. Are you ready to step inside?

    About the Author: James Flynn

    James Flynn grew up in England.

    His stories cross the boundaries of horror, sci-fi, and sci-fi horror. An absurdist at heart, Flynn’s tales tend to highlight the many paradoxes and predicaments that come attached to human existence.

    James Flynn’s stories have been compared to those of the hit TV series, The Twilight Zone, due to their eeriness and atmospheric nature.

    James's work has appeared in Black Petals Magazine, Yellow Mama Magazine, The Scare Room Podcast, Weird Mask Magazine, Patty’s Short Stax Anthology, Local Haunts Anthology, Lurking in the Dark Anthology, Alien Buddha Press and Horror Hill Podcast.

    When he is not writing, James Flynn can sometimes be found rummaging through shelves in second-hand bookstores, or wandering aimlessly through the streets of the secret city in which he now lives.
