 After the tragic loss of her father, Madison’s mother Susan moves them to an old farmhouse in hopes of curving the struggling teen’s spiraling behavior, giving her a fresh start at a new school and a chance for a new life. The change isn’t a welcomed one and the new environment, although vastly different, proves just as difficult for her daughter to navigate. But there’s something about the old house, something growing, that just may save Madison from herself.

Poignant and haunting while never losing hope,
The Vines is a story that twists and weaves through love, loss, the confusing complexities of a teen’s self-discovery, and a mother’s unrelenting love of a daughter with a very special gift.

Sometimes wilted plants just need a little love.

Early praise for Pornageddon

“Animalistic sex, porn addiction and visceral gore mingle perfectly in this tale of baby batter-coated insanity. Micheli’s characters and blood-splattered set pieces are every bit as fully realized as the money shots, making Pornogeddon a book with as much heart as bodily fluids. I can’t recommend it enough.” – Jon Steffens, author of The God in the Hills series

"I went into this kinda blind, and almost immediately found myself wondering what have I got myself into. But it doesn't take long for you to realize Matt has a plan, and he executes it perfectly. I think the most important thing is the characters are well written, and three dimensional. It would have been easy to lean into the porn idea, and lose sight of the humanity of it all, but Matt does a great job of keeping the story on track. Pornageddon is an interesting and unique twist on the end of the world sub-genre." - Eric Butler, author of The Pope Lick Massacre and The Rest Stop

“Holy Hell - this book is wrong! It's rare to find splatterpunk with something to say these days, but this one says a lot. When I heard this was a showdown between Good and Evil set within the porn world, I knew I just had to read it. Micheli seems to have made it his mission (divinely inspired or not) to write a splatterporn version of The Stand, and I'd say he did a hell of a job. The scope is much smaller, (even the Bible is smaller than The Stand), but the roster of depraved villains and heroes in all shades of gray definitely hit all the right spots. Read this book, and spread the gospel of Pornageddon far and wide!” – Duncan Ralston, author of Woom and Ghostland

"HOLY.FUCK. Figuratively, literally, this one will have you sitting on the edge of your pew! God bless you Matt Micheli! For all that’s good and sacred; Read Pornageddon now." - Merrill David, author of Wicked Awake and Appendage

"I'm not sure if this book wants me to pray to God or porn—maybe both? Nothing I’ve ever read has delivered two so polar opposite themes within the same text, yet Micheli does it masterfully. So grab a bible and some lube and . . . Jesus, we’re going to Hell!” - Patrick C. Harrison III, author of 100% Match and Grandpappy

"This book proves that horror resides everywhere. Including religious settings. This book is not for anyone under 18 years of age due to some extremely sexual content, but Matt masterfully stays on task and creates a horror story you never knew you needed. I can't praise this story enough. Matt's character development is top notch, and you begin feeling for all characters involved. This is a must read!" - JL Foulk, author of The Group series
