The Pallbearers Club

Más información sobre el libro

A cleverly voiced psychological thriller about an unforgettable and unsettling friendship, featuring blood-chilling twists and crackling wit. Art Barbara, a seventeen-year-old high school loner in the late 1980s, is anything but cool. He listens to hair metal, wears a back-brace for scoliosis, and starts a club for volunteer pallbearers at poorly attended funerals. To his surprise, his new friend finds the Pallbearers’ Club intriguing and even brings her Polaroid camera to take pictures of the corpses. Art's friend possesses an obsessive knowledge of a notorious New England folklore involving the dead, and strange, terrifying events seem to occur when she’s around, especially at night. Despite the oddities, Art feels reassured by their friendship. Years later, he attempts to make sense of it all by writing a memoir titled 'The Pallbearers’ Club.' However, his friend has her own opinions about the manuscript and is making cuts of her own. Seamlessly blurring the lines between fiction and memory, the supernatural and the mundane, this story offers an immersive and suspenseful portrait of a friendship that is both unforgettable and unsettling.
