First off, the pulp-fiction short is making a comeback in a big way in the inaugural Vigilante Anthology.
From dope-sick private dicks to chilling treachery among LA gangsters, from a catastrophic road-rage incident to genetic experiments with pit bulls—and even to the apocalypse itself—prepare to be appalled, enthralled, and possibly mauled when you get your hands on this volume.
In addition to yours truly and a number of emerging talents, contributors thus far include award-winning journalist and novelist Christina Hoag, the king of indie pulp, Alec Cizak, and the legendary author who literally wrote the book on pulp fiction, James Scott Bell.
There are still slots open, so if you’ve got a short story that defies expectations, visit the Vigilante Crime website and hit us with your best shot.
But wait, there’s more!
We’ve also got three outrageous and outrageously entertaining novels in the offing. Stay tuned to find out what happens when:
An MMA fighter falls afoul of a white nationalist gang.
The Postman Always Rings Twice gets a twenty-first century updating.
Suburban yuppies’ past indiscretions come home to roost in the form of a well-meaning psychopath.
And if you write as well as read novel-length madness of this sort, you’re in luck. Vigilante Crime is accepting novel submissions.

Spread the word, my friends. If you're a writer who follows this Substack, I can't think of a single reason why you shouldn't submit a story or short novel to us. Matthew is dying to read your submissions.
Any audiobooks in the works.? Would love to audition.
