A Nest of Nightmares by Lisa Tuttle
5.0
There's very little of the grotesque in A Nest of Nightmares.
Instead, it's quiet, unsettling horror. The kind that gets under your skin and settles in the pit of your stomach so that you feel a little uncomfortable.
There's that domestic abuse analogy about a frog in a pot. Turn up the heat slowly enough and the frog won't realise it's being boiled alive.
This book is like that. You know something is wrong, but you can't quite put your finger on it. Then, BAM. You're a dead frog.
