The Dollhouse Family #1

[cyberghostface]

"The brief was wide open. Write a horror book that's genuinely scary and does something new and interesting. I thought about it for about a day and a half, and then the idea for Dollhouse Family popped up like toast. I suspect it's got The Haunting of Hill House and Locke and Key in its DNA somewhere, but we've tried our best to make it be its own thing. Certainly it's going to look both gorgeous and terrifying." -- Mike Carey

The Idea Just Popped Up Like Toast!

From a children's book called The Dollhouse Murders by Betty Ren Wright

Which itself is predated by Among the Dolls by William Sleator by eight years. And I'd be surprised if that was the first time someone ever did a horror story about dollhouses.

That’s not the best in the series by any means nor is that all that scary, but I have a soft spot for Amityville Dollhouse.
