Reception[edit]
Dave Langford reviewed A Nest of Nightmares for White Dwarf #78, and stated that "Tuttle writes well and knows just how to push the gooseflesh button. I'd say more, but it's difficult to type while trembling under the bedclothes."[1] Jessica Amanda Salmonson described it as "the most significant book of its kind to take a consistently feminist approach to horror fiction".[2]
