Stacking Coffins is a psychological horror story that deals with the vagaries of memory, the labyrinths of the past, and the enduring wounds of childhood trauma. It’s a perfect read for fans of Clay McLeod Chapman’s Kill Your Darling and Paul Tremblay’s Horror Movie.
Tom Carpenter is a fifty-something adjunct instructor and part-time writer whose life has been, for the most part, uneventful. But when the police call him in to ask questions about his childhood neighbor, the past becomes uncertain. The neighbor, James Rook, has recently died, and his trophies were found in his house, revealing that he’d been killing women and girls for decades. When Tom Carpenter’s image shows up on one of Rook’s videotapes, it cracks open his view of his childhood, and soon the memories are flooding back, mixed up with imagined scenarios, and soon, Tom can’t decide if he’s digging for the truth or writing his next novel.
Stacking Coffins is a mediation on memory, trauma, and story that calls into question the line between memory and fiction.
About the author: Josh Hanson is the author of Calliope Street (published in the UK as The House On Blood Street), King’s Hill, The Woodcutters, and Fortress. His stories have appeared in multiple anthologies from publishers such as Sinister Smile and Atomic Carnival, as well as multiple journals and magazines. He lives with his family in northern Wyoming.
