Product Description
Synopsis
If there is a party at the end of the universe, Matt Wallace's The Next Fix will be the drug of choice. Two-time Parsec Award-winning author teams with Apex Publications for a new collection of 12 short stories and one novella. With characters as gritty as Sam Spade but as real as your next-door neighbor, The Next Fix cooks up a cocktail of futuristic trips that range from haunting to comedic to don't-turn-out-the-lights. From Wallace's introduction to The Next Fix: You're in my own little chimerical sphere now, but I'm no different than you. I don't shoot, snort, or roll, but I'm my own kind of fiend with my own kind of jones. You can simplify it, call it a fiction addiction. It's much more than that. Part of it's that whole "art is not a mirror, it's a hammer" thing. It's powerful. Wallace's quest for the next great high of the imagination takes the reader through the cannibalistic noir of "The End of Flesh," the haunting beauty of endless seekers in "The Losting Corridor," and on an action packed ride-along with offworld postal workers in "Another Man's Run."If you like a chaser of tech with your horror, humor with your darkness, and beauty with your grit, The Next Fix is your next high. Blurbs "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, Road From Hell "Matt Wallace serves up two-fisted action -if your fists are half-cybernetic, the size of hamhocks, and covered in broken glass." --Scott Sigler, Infected and Ancestor "Visceral and raw-Matt Wallace takes hold of you and doesn't let go!" --R.D. Hall, Heroes writer, creator of American Wasteland About the Author A proponent of open media, Matt Wallace (www.matt-wallace.net) has won awards for his freely distributed podcast fiction and has sold several film scripts in the Australian and U.S. markets. He also serves as contributing co-editor for Murky Depths magazine
