Evil Dolls !

Ruby jean jensen is probably one of the best kept secrets in horror.She has a peculiar fascination with evil dolls and evil children.The book entitled 'Annabelle' is a chilling novel,her writing style is very unique and holds her own against Clive Barker and Stephen King.Her books are rare to find though,they are OUT OF PRINT!

Great fall read!

This is one great doll horror read! This book is so descrptive you can almost see the overcast sky, feel the cool fall breeze, and hear the fall leaves crunch as the main character a little girl (Jessica) makes her way over to the abanded Victorian next door where an abandon doll house seems to "come alive with 19th century dolls that move and talk by themselves. I loved this book, this was one of the best doll horror books that I have ever read! The begining wasn't slow like an another review said it was actually really interesting. Make sure to read the pro log in the front so you can actually "see" the family that used to live there in the Victorian days when Jessica sees the house for the first time.

Eerie chiller

Abandoned by her mother and neglected by her emotionally distant father, a little girl is drawn to an old derelict mansion in the woods near her home. To the lonely little girl the house is her very own castle and it seems to call out to her with a ghostly chorus of voices. Inside she finds a family of dolls that welcome her along with a strange portrait of a woman who smiles down on her like the mother she lost. But this house is no playground. It echoes with the memories of a tragedy that took place nearly a half century ago and the event is still being played out by forces beyond the grave. Dolls come to life, seeking to protect a mysterious girl named Annabelle and a ghostly wraith stomps through the old mansion, crazed with a demonic rage... Ruby Jean Jensen delivers a creepy haunted house chiller with her trademark style and resident killer dolls. A must for Jensen fans and a fun read for horror lovers.

A Top Notch Ghost Story

Great elements of the classic ghost tale; violent death, beyond the grave revenge and a lady in a long white dress. What more can you ask for? Of course, Jensen uses her favorite "evil doll" theme to see the action through. Annabelle manages to be both suspenseful and spooky, a slow beginning really picks up later.

Pretty Dollies Don't Always Play Nice!

Most people balk at "killer doll" stories. But Ms. Jensen has a talent for creating them with original twists. In this tale, little Jessica moves to a new house and finds pretty dollies to play with. She swears they can move all by themselves. The dollies talk to Jessica. They call her "Annabelle" instead of Jessica, and they don't want anyone to hurt her. Anyone who's not nice to Jessica will make the dollies mad. Don't get the dollies angry at you, for they have vicious tempers. The dollies have their Annabelle back, and no one is going to take her away from them!Oh, you will like this one! If you're a killer doll fan like I am, especially, this will please your creepiness needs. If you suspect your dolls and stuffed animals are alive, make sure you're very, very nice to them!
