I See You . . .
They follow him home from work. They monitor his e-mails. They may even be reading his mind.

I Spy . . .
Charlie Fields, a young father in a dead-end secretarial job in Washington, DC, has uncovered a conspiracy of historic proportions. A family friend, Philip Duke, heads a secret organization bent on controlling the world-or so it seems. Is Charlie crazy, as his wife claims? Or is Duke's "Gestapo" now stalking them?

Do You See What I See? . . .
The neighbors beat on his walls at night, chanting his name. Spy cameras watch his every move. And now he's experiencing strange memory gaps.

Time runs out as Charlie learns the Gestapo is experimenting on his small children. Worse, his wife is helping them.

They're everywhere, watching him...studying him. It's time to take action, and if he has to abduct his own kids to save them, then so be it.

Praise for Matthew Warner:

"Eyes Everywhere is not a novel to be taken lightly. It is ghastly, unnerving, and has the feel of something that not only can happen, but does happen. If you want something different, literate, powerful, and horrifying give Eyes Everywhere a try."
—SFReader

"… extremely learned, believable and expertly-told … one of the finest contemporary fictitious depictions of the mind-consuming process of this real and serious mental disorder."
—Downwarden

"Warner has created an everyman for our time, and if the result is not pleasant or escapist, it is compelling and insightful."
—Publishers Weekly

"Warner knows how to freak you out just enough to keep you turning the pages. ... This might not be the most pleasant horror novel to read this year, but it's certainly the most relevant."
—Pod of Horror #23, starts at 45:08, (October 2006)

“Conveyed honestly, the atmosphere is chaotic, the mood constantly changing and shifting, but always digging further and further from what safety you hold close to you.”
—Horror-Web

"Wonderful, powerful, and devastating . . . An incredible read and a masterful portrait of a psychotic mind."
—Verbicide (October 2006)

"Matthew Warner is a talented writer with a real knack for pacing and drawing the reader into the mind of his hero. I would recommend this book. It is a fun, quick read, that is well written and well thought out."
—Horror Yearbook (October 2006)

"In Eyes Everywhere, Matthew Warner carefully builds a convincing and utterly captivating tale of a man’s descent into madness … a taut, psychological thriller, tinged with melancholy."
—Horror World

 “Eyes Everywhere is riveting…a really compelling read. This book will have appeal to horror fans, but might also be enjoyed by those who do not normally read horror fiction.”
Monster Librarian

"...I’ve got a feeling it’s going to be one of those books passed around like an underground classic."
—Bookgasm.com

"...a bravura performance, a monologue on madness, and it will stick with you during long, lonely nights..."
— William Gagliani, ChiZine

"In just his second novel, author Matthew Warner has chosen to tackle a subject that most authors would not attempt until much later in their careers: the psychological downward spiral of his protagonist. It is not an easy topic; it requires a lot of research and good amount of natural insight and empathy. Luckily, Warner has shown an affinity for both in his previous works, making him the ideal person to write it. Eyes Everywhere is easily the novel of the year, and a lot of it is due to that perfect fusion of book and author."
—Craig's Book Club

"Warner’s always gritty and truthful style hammered home a point in the reader—there are times when our mind is the worst enemy we can have. "
— g-pop.net

"Warner...is in top form here as he paints a gripping portrait of a man suffering from intense schizophrenia....There’s also a unique element that makes this story work: Warner writes in third person narrative, yet every scene is told from Charlie’s viewpoint—causing the reader to feel the anxiety our protagonist is going through quite effectively in every single scene, hence (at times) making us root for him as he goes up against the evil system that only exists in his mind...now that’s talent, folks."
—The Horror Fiction Review

"Eyes Everywhere is not just a good novel; an entertaining way to pass a few evenings. I think it's an important work, a work that deserves more exposure than the small press can give it. Matthew Warner is not a young writer on the move. No, with this complex and utterly unnerving work, I see Matt as the equal of just about anyone in the field. And damned near beyond it. At a time when I am becoming increasingly disillusioned in the small horror press, Raw Dog Screaming gives us this classic novel with a new, yet familiar menace in its pages. It re-establishes my faith in the small publishing houses."
—Horror Drive-In

“Matthew Warner’s Eyes Everywhere is sublime; a deeply disturbing look at paranoia that should be read by every suspense and horror aficionado.”
—James A. Moore, author of Blood Red and the Serenity Falls trilogy

"With Eyes Everywhere, Matthew Warner comes into his own as a novelist; this remarkable portrayal of one man's rapid and horrifying psychological disintegration is by turns funny, terrifying, hallucinatory, poignant, and supremely chilling. From first page to last, this novel grabbed me by the throat and didn't let go, barreling its way toward one of the most powerful final images I've read in years. This is the type of novel that puts writers on the map, and deservedly so. A stunner."
—Gary Braunbeck, author of In Silent Graves

"There's a new gun in town. His name is Matthew Warner, and he's taking on all challengers with writing that crackles with tension, energy, and imagination."
—Thomas F. Monteleone, author of The Blood of the Lamb

"This is a brave exploration of the frequently misunderstood world of a paranoid schizophrenic. Through Charlie Fields, Warner provides a vivid and accurate portrayal of the insidious nature of a most devastating and difficult to treat mental illness. Take this rollercoaster ride through the mind of a man plagued with delusions, hallucinations, and impaired judgment. You won't regret it. This book will stick with you."
—David B. Reid, Psy.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist

"Matt Warner is a talent to watch, one of the new crop of hot young writers who will one day rule the school."
—F. Paul Wilson, author The Repairman Jack series
