Thrilled to have my short fiction featured in the new issue of The Acentos Review. "Mary Martin Just Bought a Revolver" is about a woman named Mary Martin who...buys a revolver. It's about more than that, but that's the essence. Read it here! acentosreview.squarespace.com/gabriel-matt...

"I am sometimes asked why I didn’t get into music, and for all the ways in which we are alike, this is one where we are completely different. I would rather be in the crowd than on the stage, away from the eyes of perception." New story up on Substack! substack.com/@gabrielmatt...

Confirmination that CECOT was always a death camp. We are doing genocide, right now. What will you do about it?

A.I.'s promise of polished efficiency is antithetical to true creative expression. We must reject it now and embrace real, imperfect artists. open.substack.com/pub/gabrielm...

Come follow me on Substack where I write about writing, editing, and all kinds of stuff. New posts every other Friday. substack.com/@gabrielmatt...
