Matt Shaw is one of the most prolific names in extreme horror fiction, having published well over 200 books since the late 2000s. Working primarily in shorter formats, novellas, and serials, he produces at a relentless pace and has cultivated a loyal readership who appreciate horror that refuses to pull its punches. His output spans standalone titles, multi-part series, short story collections, and the occasional non-fiction piece, including books about his pug.
Shaw’s work sits firmly in the splatterpunk and transgressive horror tradition. Expect graphic content, dark humor in places, and storylines that deal with violence, abuse, captivity, and the worst of human nature. He is not for readers who prefer their horror restrained. Those already familiar with authors like Jack Ketchum or Edward Lee will find Shaw occupying similar territory, though his British voice and prolific output give his catalog a distinct character.
Beyond the shock value, Shaw regularly returns to themes of isolation, psychological breakdown, and the horror found in ordinary domestic settings. Several of his series explore what happens when everyday life curdles into something unbearable. His non-fiction titles and social media presence show a personality that is self-aware about his work’s extremity, which has made him a recognizable figure in the indie horror community.
