My review of IF IT BLEEDS can be found at High Fever Books.If it Bleeds, a charity chapbook published by Nightscape Press to support the Dakin Humane Society, is a surprisingly dense and horrific mosaic novella. In fact, I’ve read entire full-length novels that fail to accomplish even half of what Matthew M. Bartlett did in only 76 pages. This sucker has got legs, man.There’s a song working its way through Leeds, MA, and those who hear its tune are forever changed. Seems like a simple premise, d...
When someone asks me if I have read "If It Bleeds" I'm assuming they are talking about this masterpiece, not the other ( cough, cough) one by that nobody author. Brilliant.
This chapbook was a delight. I am a huge fan of Mr Bartlett’s work, in my opinion the freshest voice in weird fiction.
This beautifully produced chapbook combines stunning art with the fiction of one of today's best and most original horror writers. Bartlett's writing gets you where you live--in the seedy alleys and rundown shops of the hometown you'd love to disown, where something is going on under the streets, behind the shadows, across the airwaves--and somehow you just can't escape. It's all part of a dark yet recognizable world Bartlett has fashioned from bad regional festivals, terrifying events both rece...
A finely crafted chapbook featuring a beautiful cover by Yves Tourigny and interior color illustrations by Luke Spooner. Word is that this might be read like an extended prologue to the next Leeds novel. I'm always eager for more Bartlett, but if this is a taste of things to come, then I'm beside myself anticipating the new novel. The genius of his mosaic approach is that it sustains the weirdness of his mythos or world-building: nothing is over-explained, depths are at the same time explored an...
Just like everything else I’ve read by Bartlett, this chapbook of stories leaves me wanting more. A great addition of tales in the Leeds universe.
A Brand new WXXT/Leeds chapbook from Matthew M. Bartlett is a day to celebrate. You are now listening to WXXT. You are not sure how long you have been listening. The static is speaking to you. The strains of “Please Don’t close the casket lid boys” keeps drifting through the static. The chap book appears to be sold out, how ever an e-version is available from the publisher.This chapbook is copy 42 of the signed, numbered, fully illustrated, and limited to 100 copies. The e-book version is availa...
Another fantastic book by Matthew M. Bartlett. I sincerely think he is one of the greatest writers of weird fiction today. Always original but also funny, disturbing and capable of being very scary when he wants to. The vignette in this volume with a DJ narrating death videos really creeped me out. While this volume may not be the the best place start I highly recommend checking Bartlett out. Gateways to Abomination is his slim debut and I can't recommend it highly enough.
A super fun collection of Wxxt/Leeds vignettes from Matthew Bartlett. In this case, put out by Nightscape Press specifically to raise money for the Humane Society Matt's internet famous cats came from. Adding to the good cause and the horrible charm are the amazing full colour art pages by Yves Tourigney and Luke Spooner. I you can find a copy, pick it up!
No-one makes my guts shrivel and my mind cover it's third eye like Matthew M. Bartlett. Here is a new offering brought to you by WXXT, straight out of the bowels of Leeds, MA. A collection of dread complete with disturbingly compelling artwork, created for a genuinely fine cause. The music is starting. Are you ready for Worm Town?
Matthew Bartlett delivers another collection of unsettling stories that can horrify one page then make you chuckle the next. This time the collection is a chapbook and thus quite short, however it’s definitely still worth your time as it’s masterfully written and is nightmarishly good fun. Matthew Bartlett once again cements his place as my favourite writer, I highly recommend this.
Nice to read a little more about WXXT and Leeds. This time this short collection of stories and vignettes centers around a song that extends back into the past. Its a little more gory than I recall Gateway to Abomination being but very much of a similar vein.
John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness is notable for many reasons, but the one that sticks with me is the scratchy, lo-fi signal from the future that repeats like a chorus you can't stop humming to yourself. Matthew M. Bartlett's fiction is like that motif but distilled down to its most effective and unnerving. Absolutely masterful. The best living writer of horror, no exceptions.
