Mathew Gostelow

Mathew Gostelow is a dad, husband, and author, living in Birmingham, UK. His CV is a chaotic patchwork quilt including journalism, pheasant farming, catering, and marketing. His taste in art, music, film, and literature is equally eclectic, although he tends to gravitate towards anything with a creepy, dreamy aesthetic. If you catch him staring intently into the middle distance, he will either be thinking about Twin Peaks or cooked breakfasts. Some mornings he wakes early and writes strange tales. He is the author of two collections of speculative stories; See My Breath Dance Ghostly (Alien Buddha Press) and Dantalion is a Quiet Place (DarkWinter Lit, coming 2025). Mat has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, Best of the Net, and Best Microfiction. You can find him on Twitter: @MatGost. Website.

Links to his books and social profiles are all collected here. Mat was profiled on the Ginger Nuts of Horror blog in 2023, and you can read the interview here. He was also interviewed by Urban Pigs Press, ahead of the release of their charity anthology Hunger. You can read that piece here.
