About this listen

A supermarket meat manager carves a doorway to a parallel world of bloody horror. A fading magician encounters his former mentor performing a terrifying new act. A party-goer ducks out early and is pursued by a creature bent on cruel malevolence. Winged creatures of unknown origin terrorize a small town. A disgruntled employee works his dark magic on a new breed of middle managers. A radio stunt shatters the sanity of a DJ. And a father talks his young daughter through a cataclysmic apocalypse. The Stay Awake Men and Other Unstable Entities. Seven new tales of terror by Matthew M. Bartlett.

These stories are a masterful expression of the author's utterly twisted and enthralling take on weird literature and horror. As an avid reader, I can confidently say that no one matches Bartlett's singular ability to captivate and disturb in equal measure, literally every sentence is remarkable and unnerving. His work defies convention and lingers in the imagination long after each story, and subsequent rereads or relistens do nothing to blunt the seizure of weirdness that holds you as you mentally decipher the weird tangy spew that accumulates in your mind. Now, if you'll excuse me, an owl with the face of an octogenarian is persistently knocking at my door.
