James came to writing fiction relatively late, not publishing his first collection of short stories – Ghost Stories of an Antiquary (1904) – until the age of 42.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A creepy, mysterious dollhouse takes center stage in this atmospheric middle-grade mystery for fans of Doll Bones and Small Spaces. Alice's world is falling apart. Her parents are getting a divorce, and they've cancelled their yearly cottage trip -- the one thing that gets Alice through the school year. Instead, Alice and her mom are heading to some small town where Alice's mom will be a live-in nurse to a rich elderly lady. The house is huge, imposing and spooky, and everything inside is meticulously kept and perfect -- not a fun place to spend the summer. Things start to get weird when Alice finds a dollhouse in the attic that's an exact replica of the house she's living in. Then she wakes up to find a girl asleep next to her in her bed -- a girl who looks a lot like one of the dolls from the dollhouse . . . When the dollhouse starts to change when Alice isn't looking, she knows she has to solve the mystery. Who are the girls in the dollhouse? What happened to them? And what is their connection to the mean and mysterious woman who owns the house?

Download or read book Haunted Harold written by Anthony Quinata and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-09-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did such an innocent looking doll become the source of terror around the world? "It's not a real doll, mummy. It wants you to think it's a girl's doll, but it's not. It has a black heart." "Vincent" A victim of Harold's attacks 2014-2015 What is the truth behind this seemingly harmless doll? Is it haunted? Is it cursed? Possessed? Or are the stories about it nothing more than a hoax? After winning the doll on eBay in 2004, Anthony Quinata decided to search for the answer to these questions. Starting from scratch, he described it as a "1,000 piece puzzle with 1,000 pieces missing and no picture to go on." In 2005, convinced that something diabolical was going on with the doll, he took it out of the public eye, hiding it in a storage unit. In 2013, realizing that interest in the doll was still high, he decided to resume his investigation, and his quest to find the truth; no matter where it led him. Determined to separate fact from fiction, his search ultimately led him to a confrontation with Evil itself and the discovery of who really owns the doll. "Extremely creepy and unsettling. If you believe in the paranormal, this frightening account is well documented and presented. If you don't believe or are skeptical, it's still an enjoyable book that is likely to unnerve you." Fiona Dodwell Author of Obsessed and Nails." Contains more than 20 pictures, rarely, or never been seen, in public!

Book excerpt: House of Small Shadows is the disturbing novel about a modern phobia – the fear of dolls and puppets – from award-winning horror author Adam Nevill. The Red House: home to the damaged genius of the late M. H. Mason, master taxidermist and puppeteer, where he lived and created some of his most disturbing works. The building and its treasure trove of antiques is long forgotten, but the time has come for his creations to rise from the darkness. Catherine Howard can't believe her luck when she's invited to value the contents of the house. When she first sees the elaborate displays of posed, costumed and preserved animals and macabre puppets, she's both thrilled and terrified. It's an opportunity to die for. But the Red House has secrets, secrets as dreadful and dark as those from Catherine's own past. At night the building comes alive with noises and movements: footsteps, and the fleeting glimpses of small shadows on the stairs. And soon the barriers between reality, sanity and nightmare begin to collapse . . . 'Adam Nevill is a fantastic storyteller, a master of slow-building tension, and he's written a fever dream of a book. House of Small Shadows is chilling, disorienting, and deeply creepy.' – Scott Smith, author of The Ruins

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “sharp, scary, gorgeously evocative tale of love, art, and obsession” (Paula Hawkins, bestselling author of The Girl on the Train), a beautiful young woman aspires to be an artist, while a man’s dark obsession may destroy her world forever. The Doll Factory is a sweeping tale of curiosity, love, and possession set among all the sordidness and soaring ambition of 1850s London. The greatest spectacle London has ever seen is being erected in Hyde Park and, among the crowd watching, two people meet. For Iris, an aspiring artist of unique beauty, it is the encounter of a moment—forgotten seconds later—but for Silas, a curiosity collector enchanted by the strange and beautiful, the meeting marks a new beginning. When Iris is asked to model for Pre-Raphaelite artist Louis Frost, she agrees on the condition that he will also teach her to paint, and suddenly her world expands beyond anything she ever dreamed of. But she has no idea that evil stalks her. Silas, it seems, has thought of only one thing since that chance meeting, and his obsession is darkening by the day...
