LISA VASQUEZ

Meet this incredible woman of horror!

Lisa Vasquez creates vivid, twisted horror with the precision of a scalpel, and cuts into the reader's psyche with fleshed-out characters. Her writing style has been compared to the works of Mary Shelley, Baz Luhrman, and Grand Guignol by John Palisano the Bram Stoker-winning author of Nerves and hailed as, "A writer of nightmarish vision and a new poetic voice in today's horror genre," by Peter Molnar, author of The Clockwork Lazarus."

The Editor-in-Chief of Memento Mori Ink Magazine, she has led her team to Amazon's Best Seller list with its debut, August 2024, issue. Lisa is not only an advocate for mental health, Women in Horror (Vixens of Horror series), LGBTQ+ awareness, and the independent, dark fiction community as a whole, she is frequently commended for her mentorship programs and has designed covers for some of the most recognizable authors of horror and splatter punk.

When she's not nursing a cup of beans or leaves and flipping people off, Lisa can be found hunched in front of the glowing magic box giving birth to new monsters. She is deathly allergic to bullshit.
