INDEPENDENT PRINT & PUBLISHING
COPY ROOM
Copy Room is an independent publishing imprint operating somewhere between the flicker of cult cinema, the static of late-night radio and the faded ink of paperback fiction. A home for stories about lost places, wrong turns, wounded hearts and the strange beauty of ordinary things. We believe in the things that linger: the songs you never quite forget, the places that no longer exist, and the people who pass through your life but somehow never leave it. A little out of time, perhaps, but deliberately so. Copy Room exists to keep a light on for all of them.
CR–001 / INAUGURAL RELEASE
BIG EMPTY
A novel by James Brighouse
A coming-of-age horror story from the winding corridors and fluorescent afterlife of the modern-day haunted house: the shuttered shopping mall.Somewhere in the forgotten corners of suburban America, beyond the boarded-up entrances and empty parking lots, the past is still waiting to be found.Big Empty is a story about friendship, grief, growing up and the places we leave behind. A journey through the wreckage of adolescence, where nostalgia and nightmare occupy the same abandoned corridors.“Big Empty is a love letter to adolescence, a farewell memo to capitalism, and a road map for the lost.”
