Matt Shaw
533 books2,212 followersBiography
MATT SHAW was born, quite by accident (his mother tripped, he shot out) September 30th 1980 in Winchester hospital where he was immediately placed on the baby ward and EBay. Some twelve years later (wandering the corridors of the hospital and playing with road kill when he was on day release), the listing closed and he remained unsold, he was booted out of the hospital to start his life as a writer and hobbit – beginning with writing screenplays and short stories for his own amusement before finally getting published when he was twenty-seven years and forty-five seconds old.
Once Published weekly in a lad's magazine with his photography work, Matt Shaw is also a published author and cartoonist. Has to be said, can be a bit of a flirt and definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, somewhat of a klutz.
Favourite books
"Roald Dahl's Collection of Short Stories"
Tim Burton's Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy
Anything, really, written by himself. Because he is that good.

This was such a fun read!
THE REVIEW is my favorite story in this new collection from Matt Shaw.
I don't think I can rate the other stories, I loved them all so much. I will say that INSOMNIA is great, not only because it's Matt's version of Alfred Hitchcock's REAR WINDOW, but, because I finally got mentioned in one of his stories! (In my best Steve Martin impersonation... "I'm a somebody!")
Along with INSOMNIA, this collection has another brand new title... I LAY STILL. You can't see these anywhere else - so grab your copy soon!

Another great collection
Matt Shaw knows how to deliver the maximum amount of impact with a minimum amount of words. Not everything in this collection is Horror. Some stories are quirky and even his poems are delightfully bizarre. Lots of stories make this great value for money.
