Lisa

Life has been full of surprises for Lisa Binion. After a escaping death in an almost fatal car wreck, she was supposed to be paralyzed for the rest of her life. The nurses were shocked when she unexpectedly walked out of her room one day. Once a spider liked her so much that it tried to make its home in her ear. The memories of the day this spider lived in her ear still make her shudder. Then there was the morning she walked into her kitchen to find a baby bird perched on top of a Cream of Wheat tin on the back of her stove. How this bird made it past her eight cats without being eaten is still a mystery. She is excited to see what surprises life brings her way next, but she really hopes that it isn't another ear-loving spider. Lisa has been fiction writing editor for websites such as BellaOnline and The News in Books. As her popularity continued to grow, she decided it was time to start her own website, Lisa's Writopia. You can keep up with Lisa on her pages on Facebook and on her website. Her first book, Softly and Tenderly, was published in January 2016. It is available on Amazon.

All of these tales of horror are linked to one of the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Easter, Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Once you read them, you might never think of these holidays the same way. They will root themselves in your mind so deeply, especially “Thanksgiving,” that you’ll never forget them.
