"Warner creates fantastic plots with great characters.
. . . The man sure can write a description. I'd never been to Washington
D.C. or to China, the two main focal points of the story, but I surely
felt like I had at the end of the story. . . . This politically driven
thrill ride could become a horror classic--it is certainly excellent enough."

"Warner's novel is a fascinating blend of straight-ahead
horror, Chinese philosophy and mysticism, along with a healthy dollop
of social consciousness. . . . Put The Organ Donor on your Must Read list."

"Not your typical horror novel. Aside of the plot
and pacing, both well-written, the characters were solid and felt real.
As a first novel, The Organ Donor makes a terrific impact."
Randall van der Woning, "Big White Guy" of Hong Kong
(April 2004). To read the entire review, click here.
"This book itself cycles between the yin of action
and the yang of thoughtful introspection, the yin of historic mythology
and the yang of Chinese history. . . . I couldn't ask for more of any
book. Go get it."

"What could have easily been a tacky cliched book is,
in Warner's style, transformed into a rich and meaningful story, with
just enough horrorific elements to please the genre crowd, but plenty
of literary allusions and mythic significance to please people like me
who want something more."

"The Organ Donor is a promising debut. Warner is a writer
with a strong social conscience. He engages his reader's emotions and
intellect equally, creating a suspenseful supernatural thriller with a
serious thematic core."

"A greatly inventive plot rife with allegorical subtexts.
. . . A surprisingly strong first effort from a writer whose short works
have already made a mark."

"Very highly recommended. . . . Organ Donor is a thrilling
read that once you start, you won't want to put down."

"I don't recall the last time I tore through a story this
fast. . . . The Organ Donor finally does justice to this sub-genre."

"I couldn't believe how good it was. . . . Matt Warner
took the used up idea and sowed a story full of old myths born anew. .
. . The Organ Donor is a straight-on modern classic of Horror."

"This story moves like a finely tuned Porsche on an open
desert highway with no Smokeys in sight. That's to say, Organ Donor moves
fast."
