REVIEWS:

For "Forces of Evil, Starring Robert Fields" from MIDNIGHT PREMIERE: "'Forces of Evil, Starring Robert Fields' is the name of the story written by Lisa Morton and Richard Grove. It's one of the more provocative stories in the anthology. Most should know Morton as a veteran screenwriter and short story writer. She's a Shocklines regular. Grove is a thespian that is best known for his memorable portrayal of Henry the Red, from Sam Raimi's Army of Darkness. The story deals with some uncomfortable doings on the set of a movie that looks suspiciously like Army of Darkness. It also gives some insight into high school violence and the persecution of outsiders that love genre cinema." - Horror Drive-In

For "Black Mill Cove" from DARK DELICACIES: "Two standouts, Lisa Morton's story of a solitary abalone forager stumbling across a mass murderer, and Playboy cartoonist Gahan Wilson's about a macabre artist whose grim subjects may be all too real, sell the volume all on their own." - Booklist

"...Lisa Morton contributes 'Black Mill Cove', a tense tale of terror set in the wilderness with a load of poison in its tail." - Emerald City

"The primary mission for Del and Jeff with their Horror anthology is make it genuinely horrifying. Several of the writers within push themselves to the task admirably. Lisa Morton goes all out with the harrowing tale, 'Black Mill Cove', which is one of the standouts for me." - FeoAmante.com

"...a dark, gruesome turn..." - Fangoria

"...a horrific story of "things" in the water." - Library Journal

From SHIVERS magazine #14 review of THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF FRANKENSTEIN: "There are a few stories which affected me deeply. Lisa Morton's 'Poppi's Monster' brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye. The story follows the life of Stacey, daughter of Poppi, her drunken and violent father. The piece has great depth and beauty in its simplicity, and I felt for the child trapped in a world not of her making."

From PUBLISHERS WEEKLY March 26, 2001 review of AFTER SHOCKS: "Lisa Morton's 'El Cazador'... decode[s] dark truths encrypted in the tags of Los Angeles graffiti artists...all well written, the stories... suggest that their horror is more a universal idiom than a regional dialect."

From Gothic.net, July 23, 2001 review of WHITE OF THE MOON: "Lisa Morton's 'A New Force of Nature' handles suicide, a topic which I find entirely terrifying on its own, in such a way as to inflate it from private holocaust to widespread infection. The whole anthology is excellent..." (Mehitobel Wilson)
