Mark Alexander asked Matt Shaw:

If I'm not taking the piss by asking *two* questions in a row lol: Do you have any writers that would be your dream-person to collaborate with? Personally, I would have LOVED to see what you and Richard Laymon could have come up with together. If you haven't checked out Jon Athan, his books are pretty cool and your styles would compliment each other. Just an idea :P

Matt Shaw Fucking hell. 2 questions!?! Son of a bitch :P

I would have loved to work with Roald Dahl but he is dead now, which makes it somewhat harder. Presently I am so wrapped up in films that I haven't really given it much thought to write with another author.

I have seen Jon Athan's work out and about (I haven't read it because I tend not to read authors in the same genre, so as not to start sounding like them) and we have the same German publisher. I did actually consider reaching out to him to work with but figured he was busy too and, it just never happened.
