Victoria by Ruby Jean Jensen (1990)
3.5/5 stars
Fawn and her two children return to Fawn's childhood home. She has been estranged from her family since she left home as a teenager but she comes back because her grandfather, who raised her and her sister, is on his deathbed.
After the funeral of their grandfather, the sisters reconnect and Fawn decides to stay. Her children find an old doll that it turns out grandfather had wanted to be disposed of. No one can understand why, seeing as he was such a collector of antiques and even had an identical doll on display in his collection. What is the story behind this doll and why is this family marked with a string of tragedies?
Once again RJJ has come up with some unique elements for another 'creepy doll' story. I particularly liked the backstory of the family and the dolls. This story really had some great moments and I think I would have rated it higher but unfortunately some of the plot relied too much on the poor decision-making of the characters! But there was some great creepiness, tension and emotion...along with some violence and a crazy climax!
