Yikes - What A Comeback!
Okay, technically it's not a comeback, but it's been a while since The Pillow Friend and I started to wonder if Tuttle had gone into retirement. Nope, she was plugging away at the brilliantly realized Mysteries. The book reminded me of Jonathan Carroll's better works (before he started trying to live up to his own reputation), but it's filled with enough layers and complexities that it ...

My Death
Lisa Tuttle

Aqueduct Press, 2008

...all at once, as if another light had been switched on, I saw the hidden picture. Within the contours of the island was a woman. A woman, naked, on her back, her knees up and legs splayed open, her face hidden by a forearm flung across it and by the long hair greenish, grayish that flowed around her like the sea. The center of the painting, what drew the eye and commanded the attention, was the woman s vulva: all the life of the painting ...

Another Satisfying Entry In The Series
I collect this series hungrily. There are always at least 10 stories that excite and amaze me, and I do feel they can honestly be called "the best" of each year. I also buy stacks of other genre anthologies, none of which demonstrate such consistent quality. How there came to be a gap on my shelf where this volume ought to be I'm not sure, but I did find out while shopping for its replacement ...

Fantastic Modern Horror
I loved this book.I found it to be scary and gripping.I did not want to put it down. I also liked that it was set in modern times {The book came out in 1983, so I'll just assume its set in the 80s.}To me the book had a very distinct 80's feel to it which I enjoyed.I also thought the ending was terrific. I admit that it was pretty predictible, but I don't think that took any away from ...

Compelling fantasy
Lisa Tuttle is a great storyteller. I almost missed my train stop, I was so involved in this book. The book centers on three women, all American, Ashley, Kathleen and Nell. They happen to be in the Scottish village of Appleton just in time for an earthquake to cause a landslide that cuts the peninsula off from the mainland. The earthquake turns things around in Appleton, once famous for its ...

I read this book many, many years ago and loved it dearly. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for engaging characters and a good story. I'm long overdue to give this one another read.

Beautiful Art, Wonderful Story, Tough Kitty
I have loved this book since I was a child and I still love to read it. Woodruff's Art is Great, you could spend hours just staring at the illustrations. I especially recommend this book to Pagan parents who want to read their child a story that doesn't paint witches as the malevolent brides of satan that many tend to hold. This woudl be a great way to warm your child up to the realm of fairy ...

You Will Not Forget This Book
I read this book several years ago, and have never forgotten it. It was a truly unique piece of "horror" fiction, though I think that it really extends far beyond the boundaries of classic horror. It deals with the idea that at any moment, you make a decision which precludes other ones, and places you on a certain path in life...but what if you could live all the possible lives that are/were ...

My Pathology

Electric Story, 2001

What if the logic of the world reflected the bizarre logic of the unconscious? Each story in My Pathology explores the insanity just below the surface of normal life-especially the madness that unites and divides the sexes. A woman's obsession with her younger sister's nocturnal activities centers uneasily upon the attic of their shared home, where someone or something has built a room-sized nest. A man's desire to connect with aliens ...

Is this fantasy or the story of a disturbed mind?
Having read "The Pillow Friend" feverishly from cover to cover, I'm still not sure if Agnes Grey suffers from delusions, or if she's lucky enough to be able to really have her wishes come true "as long as she accepts the consequences." Agnes is a very likeable character whose life is not fairy-tale perfect. Lisa Tuttle, whose works I've been reading since I was an adolescent, paints vivid, ...

Awesome
Wonderful, awe-inspiring how to book. One of the best from the best. Its only natural. I do have one thing to say to the reviewer below. While Fantasy does have its differences from SF, they are still essentially the same. As a matter of fact, all fiction genres are essentially the same, because all of them draw from facts fabricated from the human mind. Sherlock Holmes and James Bond are ...
