The Dollhouse: A Thriller

By Scott P. Hicks

A quiet coastal town. A Victorian mansion on the brink of demolition. An antique dollhouse predicting horrific events.

Historian Gemma Hayes never asked for the nightmares lurking within Ashwood Manor's crumbling walls. But when she stumbles upon a perfectly detailed dollhouse-one that mirrors the town's layout and foretells gruesome accidents-she finds herself at the center of a supernatural tempest. As tragedies mount and long-buried secrets emerge, Gemma rallies a small band of allies to combat an ancient evil forged by a brilliant but twisted toymaker named Redwood.

Drawing upon cryptic caretaker diaries and an orchard cleansing ritual, Gemma must break the mansion's curse before it devours everyone in its final act of darkness. Yet even after the infamous manor is reduced to rubble, Redwood's malignant creations begin stirring around the globe. Armed with only her determination and Redwood's own diaries, Gemma faces an impossible question: can evil ever truly be destroyed, or will it haunt new corners of the world?

This novel takes readers on a hair-raising journey where courage stands against ancient shadows, and the line between salvation and madness narrows at every turn."
