He still has a healthy distrust of humans, who are much scarier than anything in his stories.In addition to two indispensable creative writing classes, Matthew got a degree in Clinical Laboratory Science from Indiana State University and became a medical technologist in Indianapolis, Indiana.Matthew's diverse stories have appeared in several magazines and anthologies such as Generation X-ed, And the Dead Shall Sleep No More, Ill-Considered Expeditions, and many more. In addition to his prose books and short stories, he's produced two of his plays-I'm Not Gay (2015) and Phantom of Fountain Square (2019)- and released three graphic novels: Temple of Secrets, The Brute: Chasing Shadows and Harmony Unbound. In 2021 he released a paranormal mystery called Buried Curses, a follow-up to 2020's Waking Terror.
