About this listen

Where is the real Leeds? How does one get there? Is it floating on the air—words and music you can almost reach out and grab like wriggling worms of sound and ether? Is it in the carnival that seethes under the corrupted church, drawing the lost along shadowy corridors and through the strangely angled funhouse doors to the place where the city fathers perform secret rites with the goat-headed masters of the dark?

Do you seek the Real Leeds? Venture out to a secluded spot, turn on your radio, and spin that dial down to the murky low numbers, somewhere just around 87.9. That music, that voice calling on the edge of static and distortion—it might lead you to that blasted and damned path toward the Real and Truest heart of Leeds, Massachusetts.

This is WXXT. It's the witching hour, when shadows take wing and nightmares stalk. Turn your radio up. Point your antennas to the infinite sky. And stay tuned for Weather on the Sixes. WXXT. The bubbling blisters on the tongue of the Pioneer Valley.

Across his books Matthew Bartlett has crafted an intricate mythology of the town of Leeds and its strange inhabitants and Creeping Waves ties some of the dismembered parts together. I’ve never read anything like Matthew’s work before; a grotesque patchwork composed of the surreal, unnerving, violent and with splatters of exceedingly dark humour.
It's a brilliant example of his talent and imagination, I can say with certainty that I will be reading this again and again!

Amazing!

Sick. Twisted. Horrifying. Weird. Alluring. The siren call of the maggots. Putrefaction of the mind. Putrefaction of the soul. Corruption. Dread. Vomitus of the mind. Slaughter. Laughter. Infanticide. And so much more. WXXT in my heart, head and ears

Fantastically deranged.
