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.

Loved this ..... it goes straight into all the gory stuff, and it's a full-on torture fest!

Enjoyable, super quick read for splatterpunk fans. Most definitely not for tenderonies, innocent lambs, or folks who wear socks with summer sandals.

A finger glides across the screen closing the last page of GPK on the kindle and presses the power button of the computer. Slowly and reluctantly the mouse drags itself and clicks on the browser and selects the search bar : ‘goodreads.com’ is keyed in. Static. The green button proclaiming ‘Read’ is pressed below GPK and the review window pops out with the much dreaded blinking cursor …

MATT FUCKING SHAW!
i enjoyed how weirdly this book has been formatted, it made me visualize the whole “livestream”. this isn’t the first book i read by matt shaw neither it would be the last.. and every time after finishing his book i ask myself is matt shaw really okay??
the whole concept of the book is quite out of the box and original, i loved everything about this one EXCEPT it’s too short. I WANTED MORE!!
for my extreme horror ghouls, this ones for youuu🔪🔪

this is part of my ku challenge where i’m trying to as as many ku books as possible before my subscription ends.
i think this was my first “extreme horror” book although i’m no stranger to extreme horror movies. overall i liked the concept of a tv show that allows people to choose a victim and then kill them on the dark web. but i felt like all of the “cuts” to prior episodes would have been too much if this was a real show and kind of took me out of what was happening presently.

Eh
The gore was good and so was the concept but there were a couple parts that were written in a way that was really confusing, making me flip back to other parts and re-read things but it was short so I wasn't that bothered. I also didn't really like the "they do this, they do that" POV but got used to it by the end.

Although I love Matt Shaw's style of writing, I just couldn't get into this book. Maybe it was me, but the scenes were confusing and I kept re-reading paragraphs because there was so much going on. Lots of brutality and the storyline was great, but it was just meh for me.

All action with zero filler, I really enjoyed this. It was a very quick read, taking me less than 30 minutes, but was a gruesome and fun short story.

I have my list
Awesome awesome! Is it bad that this makes me think of a list of people I want to take to the kill-room? Loved the breaks and snippets of others who were in there.

Shaw and his sick twisted mind does it again! This was a super short read but it was packed with plenty of gore. I really liked how he transitioned between "chapters"

Fast paced & gory.

Good short book
Obviously it's a fast read, however it's not lacking in visuals or splatter punk horror we all love and enjoy

Absolutely disgusting book. But got exactly what was expected. Quick, unpleasant, entertaining read.

If the red rooms were real, I’d imagine this is how I would play out. Extreme depravity that makes you want to throw up and cry, with the risk of the perpetrators victims recognizing them.

This was fun for horror. Wasn't the biggest fan of the interjection parts but it made sense with the story as if you were the "viewer".

Nice spot of splatterpunk. Would like a longer tale that explores The Kill-room.
