"Bizarre radio broadcasts luring dissolute souls into the dark woods of Western Massachusetts. Sinister old men in topcoats gathered at corners and in playgrounds. A long-dead sorcerer returning to obscene life in the form of an old buck goat. Welcome to Leeds, Massachusetts, where the drowned walk, where winged leeches blast angry static, where black magic casts a shadow over a cringing populace. You've tuned in to WXXT. The fracture in the stanchion. The drop of blood in your morning milk. The viper in the veins of the Pioneer Valley"--P. [4] of cover.

Gateways to Abomination

Where is the real Leeds? How does one get there? Is it floating on the air-words and music you can almost reach out and grab like wriggling worms of sound and ether? Is it in the carnival that seethes under the corrupted church, drawing the lost along shadowy corridors and through the strangely angled Funhouse doors to the place where the city fathers perform secret rites with the goat-headed masters of the dark? Do you seek the Real Leeds? Venture out to a secluded spot, turn on your radio, and spin that dial down to the murky low numbers, somewhere just around 87.9... That music, that voice calling on the edge of static and distortion-it might lead you to that blasted and damned path toward the Real and Truest heart of Leeds, Massachusetts. This is WXXT. It's the witching hour, when shadows take wing and nightmares stalk. Turn your radio up. Point your antennas to the infinite sky. And stay tuned for Weather on the Sixes. WXXT. The bubbling blisters on the tongue of the Pioneer Valley.

Creeping Waves

“Matthew M. Bartlett is an open channel to the darkness” —Michael T. Cisco, author of Unlanguage A hair product’s occult properties give the unsuspecting consumer more than just luxurious locks. A rural museum’s shocking exhibits explore the dark and deathly aspects of laughter. A house travels the skies by night to find the man who long ago hid from terror in its abandoned halls. An actor on a movie set recites a scripted incantation that summons unholy apocalypse. An unseemly birthday party novelty turns out to be a diabolical tool of revenge. A town’s dark devotion to a dead child spells danger for unwary day trippers. A senior citizen van takes an unexpected detour to hell. Join Matthew M. Bartlett, author of Gateways to Abomination, as he takes you on a tour through witch-ridden Leeds, Massachusetts, through hex-haunted Hulse, Massachusetts, and beyond, to the darker precincts of existence, where the chance rotation of a radio dial leads to cosmic madness, where devils reign, where doom creeps, where fiends flourish…where night cowers. “Reading Bartlett is like watching the offspring of François Rabelais & Al Columbia frolic like demented wildlife, where people wear the faces of a Hannah Höch portrait while giggling macabre wisdom over obscene broadcasts from radio stations located deep within dark forests.” —Christopher Slatsky, author of The Immeasurable Corpse of Nature
