Radioland book cover

 

   "Twisting and turning between rock musician Kris and ‘house cleanser’ Jill, Radioland serves up a terrifying, dangerous and electrifying tale that pinpoints where we belong and who we belong to. A wildly weird look at an off-kilter world full of crime and fear, Matt Cahill’s new novel will keep you up at night wondering what’s real and what isn’t.” – Michelle Berry, author of Everything Turns Away and The Prisoner and the Chaplain

A CBC Books fall fiction pick for 2022, you can read more about Radioland here.

Some praise for my debut novel, The Society of Experience...

Harper's Bazaar picks The Society of Experience for their Top 15 must-reads of fall 2015, along with Margaret Atwood, Salman Rushdie, Isabel Allende, Patti Smith, and David Mitchell!

“Matt Cahill's debut novel The Society of Experience explores the dangers of magical thinking in a most entertaining way. Both thoughtful and humorous, twisty and fun, this is transporting storytelling (in more ways than one).”
-- Andrew Pyper, author of The Demonologist and The Damned.

 

“A swirling confident debut, supported by crisp prose without misstep, and containing many more original ideas than books three times its slender size. Sly and slippery fun – I thought of Ben Marcus and JG Ballard… writers who say don't worry I know what I'm doing as they break from the pack.”
-- Tony Burgess, author of Pontypool Changes Everything and The n-Body Problem

    The Society of Experienceis available for purchase in Canada and the U.S., in-store and online. An e-book version is also available.
