Filled with the multi-award-winning stories that captivated the minds and ears of thousands of listeners when they were first made available as downloadable podcasts, THE NEXT FIX collects Matt's thrilling tales of horror, sci-fi, and tech-noir for the first time ever.

From the Back Cover:

Only one drug can bring the visceral and the sublime together in a single trip, where the best and worst of the human drive boils down to a tech-noir concoction that is part street-level Heaven and part fiery beauty of Hell. Consider these pages a controlled substance.

"Matt Wallace serves up two-fisted action -if your fists are half-cybernetic, the size of hamhocks, and covered in broken glass."
--Scott Sigler, New York Times Best-Selling Author of CONTAGIOUS

"Matt Wallace is the boogeyman in your closet. He's the monster under your bed. He's the shadow that slides along the walls. Matt Wallace's writing is so compelling and so terrifying that you'll keep turning the pages, addicted to his work."
--J.C. Hutchins, author of 7th SON: DESCENT

"Matt Wallace possesses a supercharged hard boiled voice that rumbles and rocks as he delivers stories that rip the reader across landscapes of personal apocalypse. The tales from his first collection, The Next Fix, range easily and effectively from the gritty to the surreal, the far reaches of space to individual hells, often in the space of a few pages. With a storytelling style born from podcasting, he knows how to grab and hold a reader's attention - that crackle and hiss you hear isn't interference, but energy and joy as his love of language and story stretches bandwidth to accommodate his vision."
--Gerard Houarner, author of ROAD FROM HELL

"Visceral and raw-Matt Wallace takes hold of you and doesn't let go!"
--R.D. Hall, writer, NBC's HEROES

Controversial GFA champion "The Heretic" Chaiyal North is facing the firing squad as he goes before the Galactic Fighting Council. The fate of his newly-won title hangs in the balance.

J.C. Hutchins and award-winning horror/thriller writer Matt Wallace have teamed up to unleash the coolest promotion in the history of the mothereffin' multiverse. By evangelizing J.C.'s new novel Personal Effects: Dark Art, you have a shot at winning a unique, priceless sword ... THE Sword of Blood.

This is a BATTLE READY, real-deal, no-messing-around REAL sword, from Matt Wallace's private collection. It is a replica of the sword wielded by Charles V of Spain. In 1519, Charles V was crowned "Roman Emperor"; at that time, no other leader had ruled such an inmense kingdom in human history. The sword's blade is forged in high carbon stainless steel, and is 40 inches long. It was crafted by Marto, the same company that created swords for the Highlander television series.

But it gets so much cooler. J.C. and Matt will write a flash fiction story, focused on the Sword of Blood ... and that story will be written on the blade of the weapon. This story will not appear anywhere else on the planet; it is written for an audience of one - the person who wins the Sword of Blood. And to make this a true Sword of Blood, both J.C. and Matt will sign their names upon the sword in their own blood.

This sword originally cost hundreds of dollars, and is now truly priceless. Only one will be worthy to wield it.

How can you win THE Sword of Blood? Simple.

• You must own a copy of Personal Effects: Dark Art. (Order a copy here.)
• You must conduct a "show and tell" of the novel and its transmedia items (IDs, biz cards, documents, etc.) to several family members or co-workers.
• Simply show off the book, and tell your pals about the novel and its "out of book" transmedia experience.
• You must pass out copies of the Order Form PDF (found below) to each person you chat with.
• You can do this in your home, at a friend's house, or at your workplace.
• You must document this Show And Tell session with at least one photograph.
• Email that photo to J.C. at 7thSonNovel.com by July 31.

One worthy participant will be selected at random, and will receive THE Sword of Blood, featuring a flash fiction story written upon its blade and signed by its authors in their blood. This sword ruled the Roman Empire. It is more than worthy of your effort. In fact, the real question is: Are you worthy to possess it?

The contest ends July 31, 2009, so there's no time to waste. Print out the Order Form PDF for your peeps (found below), and get showing and telling. Be sure to document your efforts, and send at least one photo to J.C. at 7thSonNovel@gmail.com.

This time around there are new characters, new intrigue, and new threats to the impending showdown between fading Quyth legend Korak the Cutter and the greatest Human champion in a thousand years, "The Heretic" Chaiyal North. Will these two interstellar titans fulfill their destinies by going head-to-head in the fight of an eon, or will a universe filled with corruption overwhelm the purity of their battle?

It's the biggest intergalactic sports news item since Quentin Barnes led the Ionath Krakens to the title. "The Heretic" Chaiyal North has jumped ship from the GFA to the IFA. And what will his first contractual obligation be? Battling living legend Korak the Cutter for the IFA title (what's the name of the story, bitches?). But what didn't make the front page is the deal Chai had to cut to make the fight of his dreams and perhaps his destiny come to pass. As the former GFA champion and future IFA championship hopeful travels to Buddha City for the blockbuster weigh-in ceremony, Gredok the Split-head has his own dreams in the works, and Chaiyal's showdown with Korak are at the center of the Quyth crime lord's machinations.

Check out this wicked piece of TITLE FIGHT fan art created by Adrian Bogart of Austin, Texas, depicting what a face-to-face stand-off between Korak the Cutter and "The Heretic" Chaiyal North might look like. We're floored by both the mad skillz on display here as well as Adrain's attention to detail. Chaiyal in particular is rendered exactly as he was written in his first fight, from his Mohawk-style warrior "do" to the inverse crosses painted on his skull to that slick spaulder armor piece (our only critique is that he could look *slightly* less like a Dick Tracy-ized Brock Lesnar. We hate that guy). Hardcore TITLE FIGHT fans will even notice the scars Chaiyal still wears after his bar brawl with Brockaa the Razor-barbed described in Round #2.

And yes, those are in fact yellow Adidas antennae socks that Korak the Cutter is sporting.

Thanks, Adrian! You have achieved pimp-level status in our eyes. And keep the fandom coming, kids. You might just becom a part of FUTURE HISTORY as well.

Matt will make two special guest appearances as part of New York Times best-selling author Scott Sigler's ROOKIE TAILGATE TOUR, a twenty-city event Sigler is hosting throughout September in support of THE ROOKIE--the first limited edition hardcover release from Sigler's newly launched Dark Overloard Media

From ScottSigler.com:

"It's time for the ROOKIE Tailgate Tour! Demand that General Siglerisimo visits your city and destroys all that you hold dear. "Demand it" to insure every city on the list of 20 potentials is graced with moist blessings from Pope Siglericus XXX. Launching at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, GA, on September 4-7, 2009. Get all your friends to vote, but only if they will attend the event -- should your city get 300 votes and only 3 people show up to the event, the General will launch nukes, anthrax, and air-drop auto-playing N'SYNC boomboxes that will shatter your will to live.

The game plan: We'll meet at an all-ages, family friendly sports bar in each town, read a little, have a bit of discussion, then grab a bite and a beer.

This will be a bad-ass joint event with Matt Wallace, author of The Next Fix, and my all around favorite writer."

Matt will join Sigler in Nashville, TN and in Indianapolis IN on September 8th and 9th respectively. The Nashville stop will be sponsored by BUDWEISER with free beer, prizes, and giveaways. You can find out all the details in Matt's blog.

This is a unique and rare event, as well as a unique and rare public appearance for Matt, who is sitting out the 2009 con season to focus on larger projects. If you're within driving, flying, or jetpacking distance, we recommend you make every attempt to catch it.

It's the debut of GUT SHOTS here at Matt-Wallace.com and on KILL (the) FEED. Featuring short, controlled bursts aimed at enemies of everything from arts and entertainment to every conceivable form of media.

Because there's just too much bullshit to choose a single topic from each week. And because Matt's just too damn busy to lay down more than five minutes of essayist video in any seven day cycle.

In the series premiere of GUT SHOTS: Matt riffs on the demographics of social networking in what has apparently become Jim Crow's internet, explains why Google should play the Tetsuo Mass in the American remake of AKIRA, and runs down how Hollywood studios are getting it wrong while video game marketing firms are getting it right for all the wrong reasons. Finally, Matt covers earthquake kit essentials with a gold shuriken recommendation for J.C.

The following dispatch was received from our ignoble benefactor and your humble narrator early this morning.

"I'm not big on tenets, personally or professionally. Because they are largely bullshit. It's for that reason I've tried my best to institute the anti-tenet around here. A strict, unyielding ban against bullshit. It's my naive hope this anti-philosophy (more bullshit) will extend to my work and my life.

So let's not bullshit. You've walked through Borders. You've enjoyed your half-caf double corporate semen with extra semen foam in the Barnes & Noble coffee bar. Two or three of you have roamed the stacks at your local library. You've seen it. Millions of books. Worlds of dead trees. Every asshole's opinion and life story and every fictionalized version of every asshole's opinion and life story. And every year it all gets done again and what the alpha consumer eats will not even be remembered as a particularly hearty bowel movement when the following year rolls around.

So who gives a fuck about one more piece of pop fiction?

I do. Because J.C. Hutchins isn't bullshit, nor is he full of it. He's full of sell, he's full of pimp, he's full of store brand diet cola, but he is quite possibly the least full of shit man I know. I choose my friends carefully. I choose them well. I loathe people. I revile writers. And J.C. Hutchins is a friend of mine.

And his novel isn't bullshit, either. Yes, every asshole has a story and every third or fourth asshole has some writing talent (I'm somewhere around the fifth asshole, I think, although I'm not a statistics major). But rarely, increasingly so, will you be two hundred pages into a work of fiction and realize it takes seven versions of a man to reveal one basic truth. That's 7th Son.

Steampunk is a lie. Lovecraft is a lie. Bukowski is a fucking lie. Drop some coin today on a little bit of truth. Make my friend an obscene success.

Because when a writer finds they can't make a living selling the truth, that's when they really start lying.

That's when they become bullshit.

And if that happens to Hutch I'll find every single one of you.

The following dispatch was received from our ignoble benefactor and your humble narrator early this morning. "I'm not big on tenets, personally or professionally. Because they are largely bullshit. It's for that reason I've tried my best to institute the anti-tenet around here. A strict, unyielding ban against bullshit. It's my naive hope this anti-philosophy (more bullshit) will extend to my work and my life. So let's not bullshit. You've walked through Borders. You've enjoyed your half-caf double corporate semen with extra semen foam in the Barnes & Noble coffee bar. Two or three of you have roamed the stacks at your local library. You've seen it. Millions of books. Worlds of dead trees. Every asshole's opinion and life story and every fictionalized version of every asshole's opinion and life story. And every year it all gets done again and what the alpha consumer eats will not even be remembered as a particularly hearty bowel movement when the following year rolls around.
