After five years of homelessness, Matthew Hollis Damon self-published a hilarious, heartbreaking memoir and then wrote two gamebooks, The Shadow Keep and Dead High. In 2017 his biography of the zombie apocalypse, Destiny Nowhere, was published by Severed Press. Drawing from the grit of his life on the streets, a fertile imagination and the nerd-dom of his youth, Damon imbues his fiction with rawness and a critical eye glaring right at the world. He lives in upstate New York with two sons two cats and a pantheon of demons.

It’s the end of the world and Sam Bland feels fine. The apocalypse hit like a tsunami, too fast for any government agency to contain. Sam is not a hero. He’s a reclusive psychology professor at Syracuse University, wholly unprepared for survival, but spared from the virus by his antisocial tendencies. He didn’t like society before, and now all the phonies who made life miserable are infected trying to eat him, but at least he doesn’t have to talk to them anymore. Charisse is his last glimmer of hope, but she’s a head-case, owned by a sociopathic yuppie warlord, and she might be playing him. That doesn’t deter Sam as he traverses the city, learning to kill and live amidst the dying and the killers, while alpha men fight for domination around him. In order to liberate the woman he thinks he might love, Sam must face the demons running amok in the world... and in his head.

Martin carried a dark childhood secret with him, a sexual violation which festered inside, poisoning his formative years and shadowing him into an adulthood that felt like a lie. Moving to a prestigious job in DC showed him that he could not escape his demon--and something far worse lurked in the halls of power. In a world where evil is rewarded and corruption has no consequences, he learned that the only way to beat a rigged game was to play by his own rules. The very thing that had always been wrong with Martin is what made him the perfect player for the job.
They say your first kill is always the hardest, but it was easy for Martin: a human life became meaningless when its sole purpose was to destroy other lives. When he set his sights on the most powerful man in the country, Martin discovers a sinister terror waiting for him beneath a mansion where children are bought and sold and destroyed for sport. Martin knows he must stop what he discovers down there at all costs-- even if the price is his life.
