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.

Anything, really, written by himself. Because he is that good.

Bryan is one interesting fellow, in you think Norman Bates is a good guy. The story is pretty straightforward and really showcases how dangerous and deranged our lead is. I’ll keep this review short, much like this book. I really disliked the constant jumping around in the book, ie intervals, different segments, past and present, etc. It was all very distracting, leaving the core story feeling a bit disjointed and rushed. I liked the idea and attempt here, but hated the way it was structured. Still had lots of unsettling content to push it along.

I'm a huge Matt Shaw fan, so no surprise I loved this! Quick smooth read, more a novella, but packed with a great story and backstories throughout that deepen the understanding of the main character. Great fun if you're a horror fan!

yet another awesome story!
It was an awesome story of a young sick individual who was looking for female friendship in the wrong way. I’m a fan of this author.
