A Cursed Collection of Haunted Dolls

A Cursed Collection of Haunted Dolls examines reported cases involving dolls said to be haunted or cursed, placing famous names such as Robert, Annabelle and Peggy alongside lesser-known figures including Mandy and Okiku. Fiona Dodwell considers the stories attached to these objects, while keeping the subject connected to its wider cultural history.

The book also follows the haunted-doll idea into literature and film, including the killer dolls that have shaped modern horror. Interviews with Child’s Play writer and director Don Mancini, actress Jennifer Tilly, Patti Negri and Jayne Harris add perspectives from performers, investigators and paranormal personalities. Fred Batt contributes the foreword.
