"“Lisa Tuttle is, quietly and unsensationally, the finest practitioner of unsettling fiction writing today. She can make you doubt reality, she can chill your flesh and walk you into the darkness with gentle, perfectly constructed prose. Her authorial voice is so sensible that it's easy to forget, over and over, in story after story, that she's one of the dangerous ones, the kind of writer that somebody really should have warned you about.” —Neil Gaiman ""My Death is very readable, in that page-turning, suspense-building way....The fun of My Death is in its propulsive mystery plot...it is a creepy, cozy pleasure, the kind of reader that bothers a reader in the nicest sort of way.” —Bibliokept “Full of twists and turns, the book conjures the rich inner lives of women working on the fringes of artistic communities that often forget to memorialize or acknowledge them, even as Tuttle keeps taut the thread of suspense that animates the story. Powerful and empoweringly weird.” —Kirkus Reviews ""Lisa Tuttle's characters crawl into places that many genre authors avoid....As sexually uncomfortable as her books can be, it's the emotional discomfort that clings to you....Tuttle's books are messy and chaotic. They feel desperate. They feel human. They feel like real life."" —Grady Hendrix, Tor.com “It is [Tuttle’s] influence, ringing loud and clear, on the award-winning work of authors like Carmen Maria Machado, Elizabeth McCracken, and Karen Russell that will finally lead grateful readers back to her.” —Booklist"
