The Haunted Dolls' House
Overview
A macabre human drama is re-enated in a Gothic doll's house; a whistle awakens a force of unspeakable malevolence; an ancient curse is passed from person to person; a grisly crime is avenged from beyond the grave; the tomb of a Swedish count will not rest quietly...
M.R. James's chilling ghost stories reveal a world were the familiar becomes diabolical, the smallest object can lead to unimaginable horror, and evil brushes against everyday life in the most unexpected and sinister of ways.
'Gifted with an almost diabolic power of calling horror by gentle steps from the midst of prosaic daily life... James evokes fright and hideousness in their most shocking form.' H.P. Lovecraft
