Lisa Mannetti is a former magazine editor and adjunct college English instructor who discovered she preferred writing full time to real work when she volunteered to be the family member who cared for her ailing mother.
 Her debut novel, The Gentling Box, (DarkHart Press October, 2008) was named as one of four Editors' Picks on Fearzone's Best Novels of 2008; and, along with works by such luminaries as F. Paul Wilson, was chosen as one of the Top Ten novels of 2008 on Creature Feature. The Gentling Box has been nominated for a Bram Stoker Award.
She recently served as guest editor for the Terrible Beauty, Fearful Symmetry anthology and two of her most recently published stories appear in Traps! (DarkHart Press, November 2008) and Lovestrology (Ravenous Romance, December 2008); a third, "Everybody Wins," was translated into a short indie film by director Paul Leyden. (November, 2008) and is making the rounds on the film festival circuit. 51 Fiendish Ways to Leave Your Lover, a macabre gag book illustrated by Glenn Chadbourne, is currently being shopped around by her agent. At present she is working on a supernatural novel tentatively titled, The Everest Hauntings.
Lisa lives with her mischievous twin black kittens, Harry and Theodora Houdini, in the spooky circa 1918 house she grew up in and returned to five years ago. She is still afraid of going up to the attic.
