What Fans Are Saying About On the Lips of Children:

“…Mark Matthews’ imagery right out of the gate hit me like a hammer between the eyes. From the first scene the reader can see this story is headed someplace dark, but the way you get there and the well-developed characters who guide you down that path are what make the journey worthwhile.” –Bracken

“Matthews paints a chilling picture of the underground in the area between San Diego and Tijuana and the people who inhabit that dark and wicked place. He uses the power of darkness to tell us a story about the blinding light that is the love of a parent for their child. This is not a book for light weights. It is gritty and violent and black as the heart of a drug addict but it is also empowering and horror at its very best. And the ending…oh the ending.” –Bette Bathory
