At the link below there is a good mini essay by Ellen Datlow on dolls, and a list of notable works featuring weird and horrific dolls, selected by writers … including my own HOUSE OF SMALL SHADOWS, reviewed by the writer, Tim Lebbon.
“The Master of Revels from House of Small Shadows by Adam Nevill: I’ll never look at a marionette puppet the same way again. I’ve always found them disturbing, but in Nevill’s hands the marionettes are truly terrifying.” Tim Lebbon
My doll parts click and clack with delight!
