A small independent studio making apps, games and books.

Our work

Books

A pen-and-ink drawing of dozens of small grey Murkmares in rust-red hats crowded on a dark dresser between a cotton reel and two thimbles.

In printNo. 1 · Picture book

The Murkmares

or, Sleep Tight

A rhyming picture book about why you wake up the way you do: cold toes, knotted hair and crusty eyes, all the work of small grey creatures who come by the dozens while you sleep.

Darkly funny and drawn in scratchy pen and ink, for brave readers and the grown-ups who read to them. In paperback and on Kindle.

Apps

A vintage matchbox label reading Poppet, Safety Matches, with an engraved cloth doll with button eyes, cross-stitched seams and a red heart.

Coming soonNo. 2 · App

Poppet

A poppet is older than the movies. This one is yours.

A stitched cloth doll waits on a candlelit altar, with a box of matches and a dish of pins close at hand.

Coming soon to Google Play and the App Store.

About

The studio

Moth & Match is a small independent studio. So far it has made two things: The Murkmares, a rhyming picture book, and Poppet, a stitched cloth doll for your phone.

This site doesn't track you, and we build our apps to collect as little as possible. We can't say as much for the Murkmares.
