Much of Tuttle's most powerful work has been in the fields of Dark Fantasy and Horror, with such novels as Familiar Spirit (1983), Gabriel: A Novel of Reincarnation (1987), Lost Futures (1992) and The Pillow Friend (1996). Many of her best short stories – "The Horse Lord" (1977), "Treading the Maze" (1981), "Bug House" (1980), "Sun City" (1980) and "Flying to Byzantium" (1985) – are collected in A Nest of Nightmares (coll 1986). Much of Tuttle's fiction deals with fragile relationships combined with psychological or sexual Transformation, often with a strongly feminist slant (see Feminism).
