M. R. Matelski is a Texas-born author whose writing moves between two distinctly different worlds: the absurdities of corporate life and the unsettling mysteries of the supernatural.
Drawing on his professional background in human resources, administration, and operations, Matelski brings dry wit and sharp observation to workplace satire. His books "The Micromanager’s Manifesto" and "The Corporate Gaslighter’s Handbook" expose the contradictions, questionable leadership practices, and institutional absurdities that make office life both frustrating and unintentionally entertaining.
His fiction takes a darker turn. In "The One That Followed", a Texas Gothic supernatural horror novel, Matelski explores the lonely highways, forgotten legends, and psychological unease of West Texas, where the line between rational explanation and the inexplicable becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish.
Rather than confining himself to a single genre, Matelski approaches each project with its own distinct voice and purpose. Whether examining the ridiculous behavior of people in positions of authority or the disturbing possibilities lurking beyond ordinary experience, his writing invites readers to question what they think they know.
Sometimes the result is laughter. Other times, it is the uncomfortable feeling that something isn't quite right.
