“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?
