Mathew Gostelow

Mathew Gostelow is a dad, husband, and author, living in Birmingham, UK.

His CV is a chaotic patchwork quilt of 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 Mat staring intently into the middle distance, odds are he will either be thinking about Twin Peaks or cooked breakfasts. Some mornings he wakes early and writes strange tales.

Mat has published two collections: a book of speculative short stories called See My Breath Dance Ghostly (Alien Buddha Press) and Connections, a flash fiction chapbook (Naked Cat Publishing - now defunct). He has been longlisted for the Welkin Prize, and nominated for the Pushcart Prize, Best of the Net, and Best Microfiction.
