Matt Wallace's KILL (the) FEED isn't a show for your children. It isn't for your parents. It sure as hell isn't for your grand-parents. It's not work safe. It's not home safe. Basically, tuning in to this show is the auditory equivalent of enjoying a breakfast of wheat toast with jellied gasoline, washing it down with a glass of freshly squeezed Sterno, then lighting a Cuban cigar with your insurance card... http://www.matt-wallace.com Matt's highly anticipated debut short story collection is available now in both hardcover and paperback editions. Filled with the multi-award-winning stories that captivated the minds and ears of thousands of listeners when they were first made available as downloadable podcasts, THE NEXT FIX collects Matt's thrilling tales of horror, sci-fi, and tech-noir for the first time ever. From the Back Cover: Only one drug can bring the visceral and the sublime together in a single trip where the best and worst of the human drive boils down to a tech-noir concoction that is part street-level Heaven and part fiery beauty of Hell. Consider these pages a controlled substance. Buy THE NEXT FIX from Amazon or from Barnes and Noble "Matt Wallace serves up two-fisted action -if your fists are half-cybernetic, the size of hamhocks, and covered in broken glass." --Scott Sigler, New York Times Best-Selling Author of CONTAGIOUS "Matt Wallace is the boogeyman in your closet. He's the monster under your bed. He's the shadow that slides along the walls. Matt Wallace's writing is so compelling and so terrifying that you'll keep turning the pages, addicted to his work. --J.C. Hutchins, author of 7th SON: DESCENT "Matt Wallace possesses a supercharged hard boiled voice that rumbles and rocks as he delivers stories that rip the reader across landscapes of personal apocalypse. The tales from his first collection, The Next Fix, range easily and effectively from the gritty to the surreal, the far reaches of space to individual hells, often in the space of a few pages. With a storytelling style born from podcasting, he knows how to grab and hold a reader's attention - that crackle and hiss you hear isn't interference, but energy and joy as his love of languag and story stretches bandwidth to accommodate his vision." --Gerard Houarner, author of ROAD FROM HELL "Visceral and raw-Matt Wallace takes hold of you and doesn't let go!" --R.D. Hall, writer, NBC's HEROES Sun, 1 Feb 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.matt-wallace.com#001 http://www.matt-wallace.com#001 Matt's DEPTH CHARGE column returns to Britain's best prose and comics quarterly in the newest issue of Murky Depths. In a piece entitled "Fucking Vampires" Matt takes aim at the whole Twilight phenomenon for those of us without eight-inch vertical bangs and razor-blade scars on our forearms, as well as other prevailing genre fiction trends. Murky Depths is available at fine retailers throughout the UK and ships worldwide to its international readers.

In "Creature of God" by Jack Mangan, Matt plays the role of Father Vitor, a priest with questionable motives and an even more questionable vocabulary. Matt joins an all-star cast that includes a who's-who in podcasting and features Heather Welliver, Kreg Steppe, John Cmar, Matt Wallace, J.C. Hutchins, Chris Lester, Seth Harwood, Neil Stringer, and Scott Sigler. Variant Frequencies is currently celebrating three years of excellence that has seen it receive numerous Parsec Awards, including the Best Fiction (Short Form) Parsec for Matt's stories "Absolution, Insured" and "No World for Warriors" as well as a 2008 nomination for Matt's "Delve" Sun, 1 Feb 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.matt-wallace.com#003 http://www.matt-wallace.com#003 Matt's official website has been retooled, redesigned, and redubbed by the sick and twisted minds at Hurdy Gur, Inc., and is now poised for its final assault on the websites of every other horror, thriller, and sci-fi author in the internet realm.

In the wake of Battlestar Galactica's metaphysics-shoveling series finale, Matt has a TV-centric GUT CHECK for BSG sycophants and Whedonists/Jossphiles alike.
