A review by bookdragon_1978
The Doll Collection, by Ellen Datlow
3.0
This book took me much longer than anticipated to complete as I found that I struggle reading short stories. My mind requires a long read to get absorbed into rather than the short attempts of character and story building.
However, having said this the stories themselves were well-written with a creepy, uncomfortable edge to them. This discomfort around dolls, their descriptions, and stories was more rewarding than the cliche evil-dolls that we expect.
I am still freaked out by dolls, maybe more so after this book, and I don’t believe this will ever change.
