Tuttle evokes both dread & terror and horniness & mind-blowing ecstasy in this novel that reads quickly in horror-movie clarity while also being an intimate study of the loneliness of women spurned by men who see their inner lives as a threat.

I‘ve yet to read a Paperbacks From Hell rerelease that I haven‘t loved.

Detail from Giovanni Boldini‘s “Figure of a Woman” from ~1900-1910 @ the St Louis Art Museum (nice to finally revisit yesterday)
