Matthew M. K. Hopewell, known to many as "Cowboy Matt", has been playing guitar and writing poetry for about 11 years. These are the first of his recordings as a "solo" artist...
He has performed and recorded before, under assumed names such as Tombstone TC Skelari (in Pharmaceutically Gifted) and Brother Nailgun of Compassion (in Skat Flatulence and the Plastic Animal Cramps) Both bands are defunct, so to speak, so this myspace page is dedicated to songs he wrote.
Every Monday night he hosts the Little "a" Poetry Series at the Q Cafe (362 Chandler St, Worcester MA)
He lives in Worcester with his lovely, stinky family, Emilie and Octavian.
Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!
There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."

SIGNED, SEALED, & DELIVERED
I’M A PRODUCT OF MY ENVIRONMENT BUT TRUST I AM NOT FOR SALE
I REFUSE TO BE ANOTHER CAUSALITY OF THE DRUG GAME LOCKED IN A CELL
IT’S A WAR AND EVERY DAY WE GOT SOLDIERS DYING
BESIDES THE ICE CREAM TRUCK ALL YOU CAN HEAR IS POLICE SIRENS
IT’S BEEN DECADES OF STRUGGLE FROM WELFARE TO MEDICAID
LIVING IN RUN DOWN HOMES SPRAYING ROACHES WITH RAID
OUR LIGHTS CUT OFF, WATER LEAKING FROM THE CEILING
ON MY KNEES IN THE DARK PRAYING TO GOD FOR SOME HEALING
TRIED TO TALK TO THE YOUTH UNDERSTAND HOW THEY WAS FEELING
YOUNG GIRL 16 YEARS OLD PREGNANT WITH THREE CHILDREN
NO MONEY FOR ABORTION MAMA CAN’T PAY
POPS GONE IN THE WIND BEEN MISSING SINCE THAT DAY
THEY LAID, PAID THE COST TO BE THE BOSS BUT THE PRICE WAS TOO HIGH
IT’S AMAZING WHAT PEOPLE WILL DO JUST TO SURVIVE
STOMACH GROWLING SHORTY LOOKING FOR HIS NEXT MEAL
IT’S BEEF IN THESE STREETS THESE DUDES GOT FOREMAN GRILLS
AND THEY GOT TIME TO KILL, GOT ROCKS TO SELL
TRYING TO REACH HEAVEN BUT THEY STILL STANDING ON HELL
FIENDS BLOW AWAY DREAMS LIKE BAD MUFFLERS
THUGS WITH ICED OUT CROSSES, ANOINTED HUSTLERS
PIMPS AND PROSTITUTES YEAH YOU KNOW WHAT’S FOR SALE
AND EVERYBODY IN THE HOOD KNOW SOMEBODY IN JAIL
IT’S LIKE AN EPIDEMIC, MODERN DAY SMALL POX
DON’T EVEN OWN OUR OWN HOME YET WE DYING FOR BLOCKS
H. I. V AND K. I. D. S NOT WANTED
NEVER HAD MUCH SO EVERYTHING WE GET WE FLAUNT IT
THE SLOGAN ON YOUR SHIRT SAYS STOP SNITCHING
BUT WE TELLING ON OURSELVES WE JUST TO DUMB TO LISTEN
Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my 2nd horror no3vel SACRIFICE is now in stores everywhere, including Amazon.com! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride! Here are a couple reviews it's gotten so far:
“SACRIFICE is a full frontal assault on your senses. It is a dark, brutal, bloody and terribly frightening book. Everson went deep into some dark abyss to bring this book to the light of day.... I highly recommend SACRIFICE.” —Famous Monsters of Filmland
“John Everson manages in SACRIFICE to dispense buckets of blood, provide edgy perversity, and walk the tenuous tightrope of horror and sex without falling: It’s rather an amazing feat.” –Hell Notes
