Book Description

Over a fifty-year career, Lisa Tuttle has earned a reputation as one of the greatest modern authors of horror and weird fiction. Her most recent collection, The Dead Hours of Night, was a finalist for the Stoker Award, and now she is back with a new collection of twelve unsettling tales, several of them never previously collected, including the long out-of-print and hard-to-find tale 'The Dragon's Bride'.

This volume contains the following stories: Riding the Nightmare, Bits and Pieces, ‘The Mezzotint’, After the End, The Third Person, The Wound, The Man in the Ditch, The Last Dare, A Home in the Sky, Voices in the Night, The Hungry Hotel, The Dragon’s Bride. Also included is a new introduction by Neil Gaiman.

EARLY PRAISE

Picture
‘These 12 macabre stories from Tuttle abound with intensely unsettling explorations of the dark side of gender dynamics ... These stories are all the more memorable and terrifying for centering on horrors that grow out of their characters’ most vulnerable moments of shared intimacy. Tuttle delivers the goods.’ - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Picture
‘A disturbing delight . . . Tuttle's strong world building, complicated and intriguing characters, and masterful ability to palpably invoke and sustain discomfort will turn readers into fans fairly quickly . . .  confidently crafted, unapologetically feminist, uncanny tales.’ - Becky Spratford, Booklist (starred review)
