Reviews of The Organ Donor

"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."

—Justine Manzano, YBFREE (June 2004). To read the entire review, click here.

"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."

—Mark Justice, Horror World (April 2004). To read the entire review, click here.

"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."

—Mark Worthen; Blood Rose (February 2004). To read the entire review, click here.

"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."

Will Ludwigsen, (July 2003). To read the entire review, click here.

"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."

— Garrett Peck; Hellnotes newsletter (July 2003). To read the entire review, click here.

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

— William D. Gagliani; Cemetery Dance magazine (July 2003). To read the entire review, click here.

"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."

— Review by Andrew Monge, a Gorezone reader (March 2003). To read the entire review, click here.

"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."

— Review by E.C. "Feo Amante" McMullen, Jr.; Feo Amante (February 2003). To read the entire review, click here.

"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."
