In a career spanning almost 50 years, Lisa Tuttle has proven herself a master of the weird tale, and now this new collection of twelve unsettling stories â some never previously collected â offers readers a chance to discover some of her finest work.
In âReplacementsâ, a woman adopts a monstrous pet, with unforeseen consequences. In âBorn Deadâ, a stillborn child mysteriously continues to grow just like a living one. âMy Pathologyâ (whose ending Thomas Tessier has cited as one of the best in the history of horror) explores the sinister results of a coupleâs alchemical experiments. And a book lover in âThe Book That Finds Youâ has her life changed in strange ways by the discovery of a rare horror book at a second-hand bookshop. In these weird and chilling tales, Tuttle is at her diabolical best.
This edition features an introduction by Lisa Kröger, and each story is specially introduced by the author.
