Book synopsis:

Things That Never Were is a collection of essays ranging from fantasy to historical fact, all of it tossed together to see what can be made out of it. It's equal parts SF, weird tales, mysteries of the unknown... it all goes in the hopper and we see what comes out at the end. The back cover says, "In this book, demons caper; dinosaurs are dismayed and bewildered; vampires walk in our hospitals; and gods die at the hands of men."

Author Bio:

Matt Rossi was born December 7, 1971. Yes, Pearl Harbor Day. He's already heard all the jokes, thanks. He's a native of Prudence Island, Rhode Island, and resides wherever the wind takes him, having lived in London, Chicago, Washington DC and San Francisco before stopping to rest in Seattle. He has four tattoos but they're all in relatively accessible places, so if you ask politely he'll probably show them to you. He refuses to stop reading strange fiction, crooked history and comic books even though everyone thinks he's got to grow out of it sooner or later. He earned his BFA in Creative Writing in 1996 at Roger Williams University in Bristol, RI. He has no desire to be more than he is, but he would like to be better at what he does. If he died tomorrow, he'd have a hard time finishing any of the stories he's currently working on. He finds it really odd to write about himself in the third person, and he's pretty much out of anything interesting to say.
