QOTD: Have you picked up any of the Paperbacks from Hell yet? Any catching your eye? Well, I hope it's this one. A rare 5 star read from me, Lisa Tuttle's "A Nest of Nightmares," is certainly my favourite book of January, and a fierce competitor for the best of the year already.

"Lisa Tuttle’s “A Nest of Nightmares” is a short story collection so brilliantly eerie and so beautifully chilling, that it almost defies explanation. If you like your domestic horror with a generous dollop of existential dread, Tuttle’s compelling compendium covers all bases."
"From me, this is more than a recommendation, it is an invitation to embrace the carefully crafted nightmares within this collection, nightmares that will continue to linger in the recesses of your imagination long after you’ve turned the final page."
My absolute favourite has to be "Bughouse," which has lived rent free in my head since I finished it. What's a book that's stuck with you?
