Ohio native Matt Betts is a pop culture junkie—sometimes to levels that are considered unhealthy by the Surgeon General. He grew up on a steady diet of giant monsters, comic books, and horror novels, all of which creep into his own work. Matt’s speculative poetry and short fiction have appeared in a number of anthologies and journals. Matt’s eighth novel, the fantasy/science fiction adventure GONE WHERE THE GOBLINS GO, follows the journey of a military veteran as she leads a rescue team up the Yellow River in a war-torn future China.
