Grady Hendrix brings conflict, horror, humor, and angst into this story about a woman, Louise, and her brother, Mark, who have to get their parents' house into 'sellable' condition after their sudden deaths. But their dead mother's doll collection doesn't seem to want them to succeed. I loved the very 'real' sense of how family dynamics: emotional distance, jealousy, and resentment between a brother and sister weigh over every scene. But beneath it all, this is a bizarre and frightening story that you don't want to miss.
