The Living Evil

By Ruby Jean Jensen

Book Overview

Heather was young and beautiful, but had ongoing man trouble. She decided to allow her older sister to care for her two daughters from a previous marriage. As a parting gift, Heather gave the girls a beautiful doll . . . Zenoa. The doll, with those penetrating brown eyes, was a reminder of a mother's love--wasn't it? The doll that seemed to have motives of its own . . . and would persist for decades to come. The doll that surprised and overpowered those no longer useful to her. In the dark the deadly doll could pass for ... a human. But it sought power to seal the transformation. It needed the legitimacy that came from home ownership. The current owners should beware. This is the 5th of five "evil doll" books from Ruby Jean.

Customer Reviews

Great horror fun.

Ruby Jean Jensen has a fascination with evil dolls. She has penned at least 3-4 novels with that theme that I know of. And the subject matter may sound a little goofy on the surface, but the crazy thing is they're all pretty darn entertaining and creepy. I've always thought Jensen was underappreciated by the horror community. Yes, she's written a few clunkers (THE LAKE comes to mind) but the truth is this prolific author has churned out some exceptional stuff and she ALWAYS delivers the goods and tells an entertaining creepy story. (LOST AND FOUND is probably my favorite.) Jensen understands horror and orchestrates real fear and suspense in her books. THE LIVING EVIL is her "devil doll epic". At 477 pages, the story follows the curse of an evil doll named Zenoa through several generations of a family; beginning in 1870 and ending in 1993. If you enjoy horror novels with a B-movie flavor to them and appreciate good creepy fun, then I highly recommend this novel. You'll never turn your back on one of those colectible dolls again!

Loved it!

I read it and it scared the living daylights out of me! I couldn't go near a doll for weeks! I loved it. I simply couldn't put it down until I had finished the last page. I thought it was just great. Now THAT'S what I call true horror!
