Since I started taking my writing craft seriously, one weird goal I've had is to find my work in a big brick and mortar shop. Today, I found SSOC 2 at Chapters. This somehow makes me feel more legit. Even though my contribution to this particular book is small, I feel it's also mighty.

Anyways ✅️

Nosferatu showed us vampire dong. 28 Years Later showed us zombie dong. Monster Squad informed us that Wolfman's got nards. @realgdt.bsky.social gonna drop them Franken-nuts on us, or what?

Hell yeah! Thank you! I don't think I can send voice memos on BlueSky. Link me another social account so I can forward it along to Arnold.

I watch this movie a few times per year. It's a modern genre masterpiece alongside Under the Skin, Mandy, and the Lighthouse. We're lucky to have this film. Book was good, too 😉

Pre-modern is key.

Sweet! That one and the next function independently but Black Wings, Bad Wine depends a bit on book one. If you want an e-pub or PDF of To Walk on Worlds, dm and I'll get you one for free 😉

Thank you! The paperbacks are superior, imo, because they're in the old, smaller paperback format ;)

If you blog, stream, YouTube, or review for your own site or others and want a digital ARC for 'Within the Weeping Eye', message me, and I'll get you a copy. No strings attached, but if you *think* you can promo it via any channels in even a small way, hit me up!

Here's the ultra sexy cover!

Jim Andrew Clark's review of To Walk on Worlds (The Maxus Cycle, #1) 5/5: It's not fair to call TO WALK ON WORLDS just a collection of short stories. Each story contained herein is part of a larger narrative, all weaving together to tell a larger tale about a wizard, s...

5 of 5 stars for TO WALK ON WORLDS by @matthewjohnauthor.bsky.social (I'd give it more stars if I could). This is the best sword & sorcery book I've ever read, and the sequel is just days away!

REVIEW: Old Moon Quarterly, Vol. 7 The seventh volume of Old Moon Quarterly delivers more of the high quality dark fantasy readers of the magazine have come to expect.

Woke up to a lovely review of @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social #7, which contains a story of mine.

“Last Day on the Farm” could have concluded in a variety of ways, but John chose a supremely satisfying ending.
