A review by sarrie
The Doll Collection, by Ellen Datlow
4.0
The ratings on these averaged out to be about 3.7 so a rounded up 4.
The standout stories were the Seanan McGuire, the last story by Jeffrey Ford, the second story from Stephen Gallaghar, and seventh story by Carrie Vaughn.
It was a surprising mix as well. You'd expect just straight creepy dolls the whole way through but this managed to take the idea of a 'story about a doll' and frame it in a variety of different ways. Especially the last story Word Doll, I don't know if it or the Seanan McGuire story were my favorite. It had the most unique premise for me though.
