Nightwatch by Mathew Goldberg is the winner of the 2024 Spokane Prize for Short Fiction!

“Mathew Goldberg’s new book has the vivid, precise language we expect of a poet, but the author also knows how to create complex and compelling narratives. Add to this mix Goldberg’s memorable dialogue and the result is that rare alchemy that only the best short story writers achieve. Night Watch is a marvelous collection, one of the best I’ve read in a long while.”

– Ron Rash, author of the 2009 PEN/Faulkner finalist and New York Times bestseller Serena
