"With her new novella, Summer’s End, Lisa Morton achieves something rare, arguably unique: she creates a genre that can be defined only by this piece of work. This challenging, exhilarating, darkly-humored, heartbreaking work is hands-down brilliant, the best work she's ever done; it's been a long time since the boundaries between the book and its author have been so expertly blurred, trapping the reader in the oppressive , nerve-wracking gray area between. Don't start reading with any preconceived notions about horror *or* storytelling because they'll be shredded into confetti and scattered to the dark winds.  Just steel yourself for a reading experience that will rival any other piece of work you will encounter this year." – Gary A. Braunbeck Bram Stoker Award-winning author of To Each Their Darkness

 

"In Summer’s End, Lisa Morton has created something so strikingly unique that it stands alone in the genre.  All writers pull their work from inside themselves, but Morton has literally put herself inside the work, and she has pulled it off so beautifully, so seamlessly, that it does not read like fiction — it reads like an account of actual events.  Her extensive knowledge of her subject and her impeccable skills as a writer and storyteller are combined in a wicked and delightful potion that gave me real goosebumps, real chills, and reminded me that horror fiction can and should frighten the hell out of the reader.  Summer’s End is a thin volume, but it is a formidable achievement.  I'll never look at a jack-o'-lantern the same way again."  – Ray Garton Author of Live Girls and Meds.
