The Killer Confession is among the most ambitious serial projects in Matt Shaw’s catalog, stretching across seven parts all published in 2023. The premise is built around a killer’s confession, which Shaw uses as a structural device to unravel a horror story from the inside out. The serial format lets him release information gradually, building the picture of what happened and why across seven installments.
Each part is short, which keeps the reading experience rapid and maintains the momentum of the confession format. Reading all seven in succession gives the effect of a single complete work delivered in chapters, with each part ending at a point that pushes readers toward the next. The confession framing device also adds a layer of psychological horror: everything you read is filtered through a killer’s own account of events.
For readers who enjoy psychological extreme horror with a strong narrative structure, The Killer Confession is one of Shaw’s more focused projects. The seven-part format rewards readers who commit to the full serial rather than dipping in at individual entries.
