Resumen del Editor
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.

Historia
In Her Body and Other Parties, Carmen Maria Machado blithely demolishes the arbitrary borders between psychological realism and science fiction, comedy and horror, fantasy and fabulism. While her work has earned her comparisons to Karen Russell and Kelly Link, she has a voice that is all her own. In this electric and provocative debut, Machado bends genre to shape startling narratives that map the realities of women's lives and the violence visited upon their bodies.

Her second novel, Arcadia opens in the late 1960s with a group of young idealists forming a commune in western New York State. Into this group is born Bit, who grows into a quiet, distant man.

Historia
Recent World War II veteran Bull Ingram is working as muscle when a Memphis DJ hires him to find Ramblin' John Hastur. The mysterious blues man's dark, driving music - broadcast at ever-shifting frequencies by a phantom radio statio - is said to make living men insane and dead men rise. Disturbed and enraged by the bootleg recording the DJ plays for him, Ingram follows Hastur's trail into the strange, uncivilized backwoods of Arkansas, where he hears rumors the musician has sold his soul to the Devil.

Here are 14 new tales previously unpublished in book form. By turns mythic and realistic, farcical and tragic, ironic and moving, Boyle's stories have mapped a wide range of human emotions. The stories here reflect his maturing themes.

Among the Northern Cheyenne of the Great Plains lives a boy named Winterfox, whose family has fought monsters since the days of the Spanish conquistadors. In the aftermath of Westward Expansion, he has become the sole heir to their blood feud against the Beast. Winterfox comes of age in the long shadows of the American frontier, a time when magic has not yet passed into myth. It is a place where the mundane and fantastic still walk side by side, and the warrior society of the Rédo’osnin Dog Men will be remembered a little while longer.

Matt Hollis is the current wielder of the holy weapon, DÄMOREN. With it, he stalks and destroys demons. A secret society called the VALDUCANS has taken an interest in Matt's activities. They see him as a reckless rogue - little more than a "cowboy" corrupted by a monster - and a potential threat to their ancient order. As knights and their sentient weapons begin dying, Matt teams up with other hunters of his kind such as LUIZA, a woman with a conquistador blade; ALLAN, an Englishman with an Egyptian khopesh; MALCOLM, a voodoo priest with a sanctified machete; and TAKAIRA, a naginata-swinging Samurai.

Between life and death, dreaming and waking, at the train stop beyond the end of the world is the city of Palimpsest. To get there is a miracle, a mystery, a gift, and a curse - a voyage permitted only to those who’ve always believed there’s another world than the one that meets the eye. Those fated to make the passage are marked forever by a map of that wondrous city tattooed on their flesh after a single orgasmic night. To this kingdom of ghost trains, lion-priests, living kanji, and cream-filled canals come four travelers.

Why we think it’s a great listen: Never before has an author’s narration of his fiction been so important to fully grasping the book’s impact and global implications. Taking us from Afghanistan in the final days of its monarchy to the present, The Kite Runner is the unforgettable story of the friendship between two boys growing up in Kabul. Their intertwined lives, and their fates, reflect the eventual tragedy of the world around them.

You've Never Heard Anything Like This
Matthew M. Bartlett writes the kind of creepy, haunting stories that get under your skin and stay with you in the dark. Creeping Waves is an exceptional mosaic of a book, stitching together the damned and the damnable souls of Leeds, MA. I promise if you're a fan of the frightening or unnerving, you've just found the gem you're looking for. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

You're listening to WXXT...
Bartlett is good. Damn good. I dug everything about this one.
“The sun was a ghost trapped in quicksand made of clouds.”
The dread within is brilliantly woven throughout all the works (large and small) and somehow assembled into a piece much larger than the mere sum of its parts.
Coffee, cankers and cabbage, rigorous rogerings, anti-itch cream for the male undercarriage, sautéed Regina ring fingertips with cherry wine, painting the asphalt red and descended black nipples with thick wiry toe hair.

Bartlett Dazzles and Horrifies
This collection serves as a sequel to “Gateways to Abomination” as many characters and stories continue on in this volume. Bartlett has created a fascinating mythos wherein I could read twelve more books. This is a great showcase of literary fiction in the vein of Barron and Langan. He’s breathed new life into self-published horror fiction and in doing so inspires many. 4.5 stars.

Destined to be a timeless classic
I enjoyed listening to this book more than any other audio book I've heard. I didn't believe that the sophomore effort from Bartlett could be better than his brilliant debut collection. I was wrong.

Don't touch that dial...
Transgressive is a word that can become meaningless if overused, but it's truly the best word to describe Matthew M. Bartlett's work. Matthew's prose walks up to that imaginary line we label "too far" and happily stomps over it. Name your taboo, and the stories in Creeping the Waves stares unblinking at them. With the stories told in the framework of the imaginary (or is it?) radio station WXXT, audiobook is the perfect format for these stories. It also seams together the various lengths and styles of the prose so that the variation seems organic. I can't say you'll be the same after you listen to this, but I can assure you that it will stay with you for a very long time.

The perfect accompaniment for a nighttime drive on unfamiliar rural roads
Surely you can’t be far now. The directions on the invitation looked simple enough, but your confidence has evaporated in step with the other cars as you venture further from the highway. Let the grotesque stories of devil-haunted Leeds, Massachusetts keep you in a state of vigilance as you navigate unfamiliar, poorly lit roads. Let the gallows humour distract you from your growing unease, as you realize that you’re not only lost, but that this entire trip can be read as an uncomfortable metaphor for your life. Let WXXT, the murmur in the heart of Leeds, talk you through what comes next.

Reader ruins book for me
After reading “Gateways to Abomination” (twice) , I could not wait to devour this book. The author seems to deliver again, but the reader just ruins the book for me.
This is subversive, visceral writing, but it’s read in the manner of an Econ lecture.

Sexual dysfunction + alcohol abuse are not horror
I was looking forward to a carefully written, eerie collection of stories, since the description reminded me of Welcome to Nightvale – or possibly Lovecraftian suspense.
The book is not similar to the description. There is very little atmosphere about the town or radio station – it is stark and abruptly dives into murder. It is more reliant on visceral and unfortunate characteristics (alcohol abuse, cultish vulnerability, conventionally "ugly" animals like goats, sexual dysfunction - including incest) associated with poverty. It seems "messed up" for the sake of shock, and entertaining those who are used to shelter.

Delicious book...
...but is it too much to ask that, before you hire someone to read an audiobook, maybe make sure they can read? I dunno, maybe I'm just an awful elitist, but I feel like knowing words should be a prerequisite for the job.
