A haunting collection of reflective horrors that don't shy away from the darkest corners of the heart and soul. Tuttle is an emotional writer and that comes through in every story, as does a true sense of dread. A cornerstone compendium of genre short stories with an all-timer cover.

Usually the short story format isn’t my favorite, but I do love horror and these were much better than I was expecting. Tuttle is actually a pretty impressive writer and while some of the stories didn’t necessarily surprise they always maintained the mood superbly.

These stories are genuinely disconcerting. I’m planning on reading more by Tuttle.

Me gustaron bastante los relatos, pese a que no hay muchas imágenes explícitas se queda el mal cuerpo.

Impeccable, unsettling, and possibly the best PBFH release.

Subtly feminist. Lots of the horrors come from experiences only possible for women. An eye opening read. There are a couple duds and sometimes the stories tell more than they show, but quite unique and fascinating altogether
