Matthew Rossi

Matthew Rossi @MatthewWRossi — Matthew Rossi is a synapsid, perhaps descended from Cynognathus. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and grew up there before leaving to see the world and be mistaken for a sasquatch and/or minor singing celebrity in various locales. He currently lives and writes in Edmonton alongside his amazing and beautiful wife and their cats. He’s written three collections of speculative fiction, Things That Never Were, Bottled Demon and At Last, Atlantis. He loves playing warriors in World of Warcraft, barbarians in Diablo III, and he’s beginning to notice a pattern here.


The Queue: You guys invite me to the worst parties

Well, okay, yes, I did bring my giant axe but come on…

The Queue: Puck

I’m not good at grief. I’ve lost pets before — in my time writing here I lost both Grim and Aurora. The same stabbing pain, the heartbreak of it, never really gets any easier.

She was my little girl. She played WoW, and even healed a raid once — and did a better job than I did, for that matter. I love her and I’ll miss her. She fought and rode the Roomba, she loved basking in the sunlight, she was brave enough to yell at a cop for daring to come into her house.

Goodbye, little sun shadow.
