Reception
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." Jessica Amanda Salmonson described it as "the most significant book of its kind to take a consistently feminist approach to horror fiction".
