The Monksford Incident by Jon Matthews

Sometimes going home is just the beginning.

Doctor Morgan Black has returned to the village of his youth, Monksford, after the death of his aunt, the famous historian Eliza Black. He quickly discovers the project she was working on when she died and sets about continuing her research into the history of the local area. Morgan uncovers a dark history of kidnap, murder and ritual sacrifice that may not be confined to the past.

This Lovecraftian tale takes us on a journey through a typical British village, with dark secrets buried just below the surface that, if left unchecked, may unleash a chaos on the world unlike any known before.

The Monksford Incident is Jon's debut novella, released April 2024 and is available to purchase as an eBook here.

Jon's Live Show:

Nerdy jokes are the order of the day as Jon Matthews brings plenty of "punchlines you can feel smart for getting" (Chortle) on subjects as diverse as science, history and cricket. No niche is safe as the "extravagantly bearded and nicely silly" (Bath Echo) comedian unveils his passion for charts, science fiction and ancient Sumerian deities. The jokes come thick and fast, with such variety that "the UK's funniest pub quiz machine" (Dirty Doves) is bound to get around to your niche eventually - even if it takes all night! Talk Nerdy To Me won the 'Best Show' award at Nottingham Comedy Festival (Late Stage Comedy).
