"Matthew M. Bartlett is an open channel to the darkness" -Michael T. Cisco, author of Unlanguage A hair product's occult properties give the unsuspecting consumer more than just luxurious locks. A rural museum's shocking exhibits explore the dark and deathly aspects of laughter. A house travels the skies by night to find the man who long ago hid from terror in its abandoned halls. An actor on a movie set recites a scripted incantation that summons unholy apocalypse. An unseemly birthday party novelty turns out to be a diabolical tool of revenge. A town's dark devotion to a dead child spells danger for unwary day trippers. A senior citizen van takes an unexpected detour to hell. Join Matthew M. Bartlett, author of Gateways to Abomination, as he takes you on a tour through witch-ridden Leeds, Massachusetts, through hex-haunted Hulse, Massachusetts, and beyond, to the darker precincts of existence, where the chance rotation of a radio dial leads to cosmic madness, where devils reign, where doom creeps, where fiends flourish...where night cowers. "Reading Bartlett is like watching the offspring of François Rabelais & Al Columbia frolic like demented wildlife, where people wear the faces of a Hannah Höch portrait while giggling macabre wisdom over obscene broadcasts from radio stations located deep within dark forests." -Christopher Slatsky, author of The Immeasurable Corpse of Nature
Autorenporträt
Matthew M. Bartlett was born in 1970 in New England, where Halloween casts a darkly luminous shadow that outstretches its season. His 2014 out-of-nowhere self-published debut, Gateways to Abomination, launched a writing career that includes mosaic novels, short story collections, spoken-word records, and stories published in a variety of anthologies and journals, including Forbidden Futures, Vastarien, Year's Best Weird Fiction Vol. 3, Cosmic Horror Monthly, and others. In late 2020, in the heat of the New Pestilence, with vaccines just a glow on the horizon, he joined the Great Resignation, immediately launching his current ongoing project, now in its third year: a subscription service for monthly illustrated chapbooks, entitled the WXXT Program Guide. He writes and sells books and booze at various outlets in Western Massachusetts. He lives in Easthampton with his wife Katie Saulnier (whose art graces the cover of Gateways to Abomination) and their cats Peachpie and Larry.
