A Nest of Nightmares (Paperbacks from Hell)
In Lisa Tuttle's stories, the everyday domestic world of her female protagonists is invaded by the bizarre, the uncanny, the horrific. In 'Bug House', a woman who goes to visit her aunt is shocked to find she is dying - but even more shocking is what is killing her. The divorcing couple in 'Community Property' arrive at a macabre solution for how to divide ownership of a beloved pet. In 'Flying to Byzantium', a writer travelling to a science fiction convention finds herself caught in a strange and terrifying hell. The thirteen tales in this collection are highly original and extremely chilling, and they reveal Tuttle to be a master of contemporary horror fiction.
Never before published in the United States and highly sought-after by collectors, A Nest of Nightmares (1986) is a classic of modern horror. This new edition features the original paperback cover art by Nick Bantock and a new introduction by Will Errickson.

You're Always Welcome... At the Bloodridge Motel
Midnight check-ins. Disturbing blood stains. A family with a standing reservation for over a century. These are a few things you may deal with when burdened with inheriting a motel.
Every two years, a family of seven check-in to the remote Bloodridge Motel. Situated along a highway known for its haunting history of disappearances and murder, the mountain-top lodging borders a national park dedicated to a labyrinth of mysterious caverns. Regularly hosting road-weary travelers and tourists, the Bloodridge rarely receives repeat business, except for The Family.
When the motel is left to the founder's last living descendant, the truth behind The Family and their unnatural origin is uncovered, one body at a time. The reluctant owner's decision to sell the motel sets in motion the unraveling of a decades-old mystery that begs the question, who are The Family and why don't they seem to age?
A horrifying story about loss, isolation, and immortality.
