Matthew J. Mesler is the creator of MOSKITO — a supernatural saga where faith, folklore, and unseen forces collide in a world not far removed from our own.

Originally conceived as a television project, MOSKITO evolved into an expansive novel series grounded in the quiet dread of the Finger Lakes region, where history lingers, belief carries weight, and darkness does not announce itself before it arrives.

Across the series, Mesler explores the forces that shape us — inheritance, corruption, moral courage, and the unseen influence of power left unexamined. His stories are built on the idea that evil rarely appears as chaos… but more often as compromise, silence, and slow surrender.

At the heart of MOSKITO is a conflict older than any one character: a battle between what is remembered, what is buried, and what refuses to stay gone.

One of the central voices within the saga is Father Michael Bartlett — The Blackrobe — a Jesuit priest whose journey reflects the tension between faith and violence, obedience and action, and the cost of standing firm when silence would be easier.

Beyond the page, Mesler continues to expand the MOSKITO universe across multiple formats, including audio readings, reflective writings, and cinematic adaptations designed to bring readers deeper into the world — and into the choices that define it.

He lives in New York with his family and remains deeply grateful to the readers willing to step into the darkness alongside him.
