A huge fan of both horror and fantasy, from both the page and the screen, Matthew finds himself spending his free time creating or consuming as many stories as he can.

When he's not creating stories, reading books or watching movies, he enjoys spending time with his family, eating his body weight in Marmite on toast or sitting around a table in a land of make-believe rolling dice.

Matthew also hosts Shivers and Spines the podcast, a podcast where he invites other independent authors to chat about their spooky books and self publishing experiences.

Shivers and Spines the Podcast is where indie authors of fantasy, horror, and fiction share their journeys.

Hosted by Matthew Massey, each episode dives into the inspirations, challenges, and creative processes behind new and emerging voices in storytelling.
