About
^{Matthew Woodruff Author}

If you ever laughed at a dude slipping on a banana peel, even if you rushed to help lift him up - you may be a dark humor afficianado. It turns out the people who most understood and enjoyed dark humor like Edward Gorey's or Tim Burtons were also the most intelligent, educated, least troubled, and least aggressive subjects. Apparently if you’re smart and in a manageable emotional state, you’re ready for a dark joke. The people least likely to be black-humor fans were the average folks, with medium values for intelligence, education, stability, and aggressiveness. All of which may suggest another reason why people who enjoy dark humor are snickering all the time: We’re better than everyone else. (Just joking.)

With sardonic wit and complete irreverence, Matthew Woodruff is one of America’s pre-eminent humor writers. The great skill with which he slices through cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves that Woodruff is a master of dark humor and satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today.

It is said that Matthew was born with a book in one hand and a pen in the other (his poor mother has never forgiven him but hey, at least it wasn't a typewriter...) Shortly after the release of his first book, Matthew was named 'Author of the Month' by Self Publishers Showcase for September, 2018.  Matthew has since won numerous national and international writing awards.

A native New Yorker, Matthew is now on staff at the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL. Matthew is an award winning magazine features writer, editor and publisher.  He is a freelance journalist, traveler, and lover of peoples' souls. Matthew's vision of the world around us - seen in his dark humor and dark fiction works - is unique and not to be missed.
