Lee's mind has always wandered toward the darker corners of storytelling. With a background in advertising, decades of experience crafting creative narratives, and a lifelong fascination with what makes people tick (and snap), Lee channels their love of true crime, thrillers, horror, mythology, and psychology into stories that blur the line between beauty and brutality.
Lee’s work combines the cinematic polish of their advertising years with the raw emotional grit of personal truth, exploring how trauma, identity, power, control and psychopathy intertwine to form the monsters we hide behind closed doors.
Influenced by an upbringing marked by loss and resilience, Lee writes from a deeply personal place—where pain meets satire, and tragedy is d

Lee Stackhouse Lee Stackhouse said: " Perfectopia is the kind of story that feels terrifying not because it’s far-fetched, but because it isn’t.

The premise alone is enough to hook you, the idea that the world’s problems could be “fixed” without conflict, without resistance, without anyon

Quotes by Lee Stackhouse  (?)

“Loneliness was never meant for the living; it was especially designed for the dying by Satan himself.

Whether we’re surrounded by loved ones or not, it’s only the one slipping into the next world that is experiencing death.

Dying is the loneliest moment of anyone’s life—and everyone seems hell-bent on getting there as fast as possible.”
Lee Stackhouse

“I could tie someone up with that silk scarf and throw him into the river, his bloated body bobbing up in the morning to spoil the tourists’ breakie.

I could stab someone’s eardrums in with the stiletto of my candy-pink heels.

I could slit someone’s eyeballs open with my mermaid scale sequin bomber jacket.
And I’d look fabulous doing it.

I think about that sometimes. The utility of beauty.”
Lee Stackhouse, Diary of a Damsel Dame

“I wonder if anyone watches me, if someone across the street sees the glow of my bedroom, the silhouette of my canopy, the flick of my vape light, the press of my palm against glass. Do they see a girl? Or do they see the monster inside the maiden?

I could be your neighbor. I could be the one who waves at your dog, the one who compliments your shoes on the train, the one who holds the door for your precious daughter.

And I could be the last thing you ever see.”
Lee Stackhouse, Diary of a Damsel Dame
