Dolls that Scare #Horror

Being someone who likes and collects dolls, both larger dolls, Barbies and dollhouse size dolls, I found this new anthology pretty interesting sounding.

Dolls are something that are far from neutral. Some like them. Some hate them. Some fear them. 

No wonder.... (take a look at the Mexican Island of the Dolls if you don't think dolls can be pretty scary...) 

The potential creepiness of dolls (think Chucky from the movie Child's Play) can inspire some great stories. I can't read to read this!  (Bonus: it has photos!)

 The Doll Collection, (releasing March 10) edited by World Fantasy and Hugo Award winner Ellen Datlow, features all kinds of dolls... the ones that you likely won't want to meet... 

Featuring everything from life-sized clockwork dolls to all-too-human Betsy Wetsy-type baby dolls, these stories play into  e true creepiness of the doll trope, but avoid the clichés that often show up in stories of this type.  The collection is illustrated with photographs of dolls taken by Datlow and other devoted doll collectors from the science fiction and fantasy field.
