Something was waiting for Sarah in the night with golden eyes that glowed and burned, commanding her obedience, demanding her soul, promising her… Sarah tried to escape the power, but night after night it drew her back, filling her with screaming horror one moment, and relentless, burning pleasure the next.

Gabriel (1987) Publisher: Gabriel swore he would always love her. And then he died. A decade later, when Dinah meets Ben, she is amazed to find Gabriel’s penetrating eyes, his knowing smile, in a 10-year-old boy. When he says he loves her, Dinah is amused — then frightened. Because he means it.

Lost Futures — (1992) Publisher: When her brother dies tragically, Clare suddenly finds herself living several different lives — in a mental ward in one, doomed to a failed relationship in another, and with her dead brother in a third. LOST FUTURES thus explores the fascinating concept of alternate realities: the theory that at the point of any given choice, reality splits and continues on for each outcome. The result is a truly unique piece of fiction, one that extends far beyond the classic boundaries of the horror genre.

Panther in Argyll — (1996) Publisher: No one believes that there is a panther in Argyll, despite the sightings. But for Danni, the impossible is true. She has an animal spirit and can change into a panther at will. What should she do with this extraordinary power? Is it the greatest of adventures, or a terrible curse?

Ghosts and Other Lovers — (2001) Publisher: The introduction begins, “I’m fascinated by ghosts, and entertain all sorts of theories about what they really are. That hauntings are caused by the uneasy dead, by spirits unable to find rest, seems to me the least likely explanation….” Veteran fantasy and horror author Lisa Tuttle has assembled thirteen of her imaginative inquiries into the nature of ghosts and the people they visit, covering territory from gothic romance to the just plain creepy. Incisive, moving, and unsettling, GHOSTS AND OTHER LOVERS should appeal to both fans of the classic ghost story and those seeking bold new psychological fantasy.

My Pathology — (2001) Publisher: 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 threatens his ability to form human relationships. And in the title story, a modern-day alchemist has enlisted sexuality itself into his quest for the philosopher’s stone, with uncertain consequences for the women who love him. By turns disturbing and compelling, these sixteen multi-faceted tales reprise the career of one of SF’s most emotionally insightful writers.

The Mysteries — (2005) Publisher: Lisa Tuttle, an award-winning author, writes here of one man’s quest for a missing woman and history’s long-lasting legends of the disappeared. She blends the mysteries of our everyday lives with a look at what happens when someone disappears without leaving any clues behind. Ian Kennedy, a private investigator, has found many missing people, but now faces a case he worries he cannot solve, but knows he has to.

The Silver Bough — (2006) Publisher: Nestled on the coast of Scotland, Appleton was once famous for its apples. Now, though the orchards are long gone, locals still dream of the town’s glory days, when an Apple Queen was crowned at the annual fair and good luck seemed a way of life. And outsiders are still drawn to the charming village, including three very different American women. Enchanted by Appleton’s famously ornate, gold-domed library, divorcée Kathleen Mullaroy has left her cosmopolitan job to start anew as the town’s head librarian. Widowed Nell Westray hopes for a quiet life of gardening in the place where she and her husband spent their happiest moments. And young Ashley Kaldis has come to find her roots, and learns that the town’s fortunes turned when her grandmother was crowned Apple Queen — then mysteriously disappeared. When a sudden landslide cuts Appleton off from the wider world — and the usual constraints of reality — the village reveals itself to be an extraordinary place, inhabited by legendary beings, secret rooms, and the blossoming of a rare fruit not seen in decades. Most unexpected is a handsome stranger who will draw all three women into an Otherworld in which luck and love will return to Appleton — if only one of them will believe.
