Publisher's Synopsis
House of Wayward Dolls
By David R. Rivers
When a quirky secondhand shop opens in the sleepy town of BlackWood, residents are drawn in by its unusual collection of vintage and new dolls. However, they soon discover these dolls aren't just creepy trinkets-they're alive. Each doll harbors a malevolent spirit, wreaking havoc on the town in ways that range from unsettling to downright deadly.
As bizarre accidents and unexplained disappearances pile up, three unlikely allies-local journalist Ginger Grant reluctant antique expert Jake Banks, and skeptical librarian Robyn Montgomery-find themselves united by one chilling realization: the dolls are the cause of it all. But how are these dolls so powerful, and why have they chosen BlackWood as their playground?
The town's desperate fight for survival intensifies as the dolls grow bolder, their control over the townspeople tightening with each passing day. With no answers from the shop's mysterious owner - Mama Sue and the town's destruction accelerating, Ginger, Jake, and Robyn must unravel a dark history and uncover the horrifying truth behind these haunted playthings.
In House of Wayward Dolls, David R. Rivers delivers a chilling, spine-tingling series with many twists-where terror comes in the form of porcelain smiles and glassy eyes, and only the bravest will stand a chance at survival.
