The Official Tumblr for Matthew Keville, Indie Author. A blog of Dreams and Nightmares and love of life in the City.
And these are a few of my favorite things: fantasy and horror, beautiful things and sleazy things (some of which

So here we have the first piece of artwork commissioned for City of Dreams. Note that this picture isn’t symbolic or representational in any way; this scene actually takes place in the book.
What you’re seeing is the protagonists – or rather, the protagonist and her love interests – being attacked by one of the Mara, a servant of Nightmare. (more…)

This week, you get to see what I’ve been working on all this time. So join me on Thursday for the first chapter of Dreams of the Boardwalk, a fantasy set in the strange and glittering wonderland that is Coney Island. And yes, when this story is completed,…
Dubiousbyhabit of Sartorially Smart Heroines (which I will be linking here soon, for all that it’s currently on hiatus) is writing a novel called First Empress, a fantasy set in an iron age world. I’ve been reading and reviewing parts of it, and I highly recommend getting yourself a copy when it comes out. I’ll keep you posted on the progress. In the meantime, Dubious has commissioned a…
Dubiousbyhabit of Sartorially Smart Heroines has posted a new portrait of Queen Viarraluca, the protagonist of Dubious’s upcoming fantasy novel, First Empress. Once again, the portrait is the work of the talented MJ Barros. Queen Vi is looking particularly imposing in this portrait. As Dubious explains on Tumblr: The scene here is where she confronts a nobleman who conspired to pay an assassin…
Another story has finished its period as a KDP Select exclusive, and is now available! To see it in the permanent archive, go here!
This story was originally intended as a stand-alone horror story, but it has since become the first in what I think of as the “Clan Brennan” cycle of horror and fantasy stories, the stories of an Irish-American family who encounter a series of uncanny things in…
