IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER! — contrary to popular opinion, shade is not the Matthew Farrell who wrote Thunder Rift. shade has been known to use the nom de plume Matthew Thomas Farrell (for reasons known only by him) and understandably, this has caused some confusion. Don’t be that guy! Below are the bona fide books.

First Hit’s Free!
A strange, sardonic shaggy dog story chock full of inside jokes and cryptic references, half of which even I don’t get. A good introduction that actually makes the most sense when read last. “...the first shall be last, and the last shall be first...” (app. 50
pages; first 6 “segments”)
Blade
Science fiction saga of a sharp-witted woman with a nasty knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time in the wrong t-shirt. Rumors that this is a savage parody of the Waco stand-off will not be answered without the presence of my attourney. (app. 75
pages; first 6 chapters)
essene
Deviant theology cunningly disguised as slick science fiction. An exploration into the mysteries of gnostic Christianity, dementia, and the problems that arise when you and the Afterlife fail to meet each others’ expectations. Not for everyone, but for the right people it’s all that and more. (app. 150
pages; first 13 chapters)
