Matthew Warner's publishing credits span a variety of formats, including novels, short stories, and newspaper articles. His first horror novel in 2003, The Organ Donor, garnered a five-star review from critic Feo Amante, who labeled the book a "straight-on modern classic of horror." Publishers Weekly described his second novel, Eyes Everywhere (2006), as "disturbing...compelling and insightful." Dramatic works include a radio play and stage play premiered by theaters in central Virginia. His opinion column, "Author's Notes," ran for five years at Horror World and consisted of a blend of commentary, autobiography, and tutorials about the writing craft. Guide Dog Books collected the first three years of those columns into its debut non-fiction title, Horror Isn't a 4-Letter Word: Essays on Writing & Appreciating the Genre (2008). Blood Born (2011), is an apocalyptic monster novel set in the Washington, DC, area where he grew up. His first urban fantasy novel, The Seventh Equinox (2013), is set in a fictitious city inspired by his current home of Staunton, Virginia. Dominoes in Time (2015) collects sixteen years of horror and science fiction stories. Warner lives with his wife, the artist Deena Warner, and sons, Owen and Thomas. In 2007, they opened a print and website design business, Deena Warner Design, serving the publishing industry. He's a member of the Horror Writers Association.
