An Overdone Theme

If this story doesn't scare you, no story will...

Lucas buys his daughter an old, dirty rag doll at a yard sale one day. But when they return home, they realize they may have brought a sinister force back with them. Are the strange occurrences that soon take place supernatural or mere coincidence? Either way, they lead to an ending you will not soon, if ever, forget.

Rag Doll by Troy McCombs is slightly different than most of the doll stories floating around in the horror genre, but it's not the life-changing tale of terror I expected. As a matter of fact, this story is one of the least scariest I have ever read. I think the description is ridiculous, although I won't forget how bad the ending is.

The only reason I bothered to write a review is to show authors what not to do: don't choose an overdone theme and promote it this way.

As always,
AstraDaemon
