I'm Matt Haig and I'm trapped inside my own website. I live and dream in HTML. I can no longer enjoy earthly pleasures like peanut butter sandwiches or dog-eared paperbacks. Instead I must hover back and forth through pages of glib self-promotion and vain attempts to convey my 'personality'. But at least you're here to keep me company. And that means a lot.

Look, you can click to find out more about my novels, or some miscellaneous stuff, or some self-indulgent lists, or any of the other things that are now on the left-hand side of your screen in a range of this season's most stylish fonts.

MAY 2008 My latest novel, The Possession of Mr Cave, has just been launched in the UK (Jonathan Cape). Read about it here or order it here.
