“Poor devil , I’m going to try to kill that nightmare for you , at any rate .”

Summary : Picture this , you’re a doctor and mob leader brings one of his crew to be seen by you . The patient seems to be in an uninterrupted state of fear . You can’t find anything obvious that would cause the problem but after running some tests you find something weird glowing in their cells . Pretty soon the man dies and now your nurse and the mob boss themselves are suffering from similar symptoms . Now there’s another issue , you see , members of the mob swear they see dolls moving on their own and the local doll maker might just be a witch !

“His heart stopped three minutes ago ! He ought to be dead – yet listen -“

Review : So this book had a huge hurdle to get over , the hurdle being making murder dolls work in a convincing manner . Very few pieces of media pull that off for me . I’m happy to say the book pulls it off . The author does a good job of conveying the fear those tough mobsters and this ultra rational doctor feel when they have to encounter the dolls and the ever looming threat of the witch . I enjoyed the book a lot and I think y’all will to , check it out !

“La Strega ! The Witch ! The Witch- fire !”
