Matthew M. Bartlett

About the Author

Matthew M. Bartlett is a reclusive wordsmith whose fiction delves into the shadowed underbelly of New England, weaving tales of cosmic dread and human frailty that linger long after the final page. Born in the fog-shrouded hills of western Massachusetts, Bartlett's early life was steeped in the eerie folklore of forgotten mill towns and whispering woods, influences that permeate his haunting narratives. With a penchant for blending the mundane with the macabre, he crafts stories where ordinary lives unravel into nightmarish tapestries of the uncanny. His debut collection, Ashes and Entropy, established him as a vital voice in contemporary weird fiction, earning acclaim for its unflinching exploration of entropy's inexorable grip on the soul. Bartlett resides in a creaking Victorian house, where he continues to summon the strange from the ether.
