The Doll Collection
by Joyce Carol Oates and John Langan and Carrie Vaughn and Tim Lebbon and Pat Cadigan and Veronica Schanoes and Stephen Gallagher and Stephen Graham Jones and Lucy Sussex and Richard Bowes and Jeffrey Ford and Richard Kadrey and Gemma Files and Mary Robinette Kowal and Seanan McGuire and Genevieve Valentine and Miranda Siemienowicz
The Doll Collection is exactly what it sounds like: a treasured toy box of all-original dark stories about dolls of all types, including everything from puppets and poppets to mannequins and baby dolls. Featuring everything from life-sized clockwork dolls to all-too-human Betsy Wetsy-type baby dolls, these stories play into the true creepiness of the doll trope, but avoid the clichés that often show up in stories of this type. Master anthologist Ellen Datlow has assembled a list of beautiful and terrifying stories from bestselling and critically acclaimed authors. The collection is illustrated with photographs of dolls taken by Datlow and other devoted doll collectors from the science fiction and fantasy field. The result is a star-studded collection exploring one of the most primal fears of readers of dark fiction everywhere.
