Reviews and Press

  • Kelp Journal - Review by Kathryn McGee

    “Lisa Quigley’s debut novel, The Forest, is an enthralling horror story about the intensity of motherhood set in an isolated forest town with awful secrets. Expert pacing and sharp, spare prose make for a page-turner with much to say about the role of family and community in our lives.” Read here.

  • Library Journal - Review by Becky Spratford

    “Verdict: Quigley, co-host of the award-winning Ladies of the Fright podcast, is well versed in active contemplation of the Horror genre itself, and it shows here with a storyline that could be described as a 21st Century update to Jackson’s “The Lottery.” Fans of Hex by Huevelt and The Twisted Ones by Kingsolver will also find a kindred spirit in The Forest. [pun intended].” Read here.
