House Of Cotton by Monica Brashears
A broke, grieving young woman in the contemporary South is lured into a macabre side hustle at a funeral home, where she’s paid to impersonate the recently deceased for grieving families. As the work grows more profitable and disturbing, she navigates hunger, housing precarity, and predatory attention while confronting hauntings both personal and cultural. Blending Southern Gothic unease with dark humor, the story probes identity, beauty, exploitation, and the fragile hope of reinventing oneself amid grief and poverty.
