Review

When Dolls Talk is a carefully crafted assortment of delicious gruesomeness, right down to the number (13) of stories told. Dennstedt's polished use of the English language is reminiscent of the classic writing of Poe. His sentence structure and vivid detail are the perfect combination for short story creation.- Reviewed by Lisa McCombs for Readers' FavoriteWhen Dolls Talk is not for the faint of heart. Those who ?nd dark corners and eerie whispers emanating from shadowy attics irresistible will have a ?eld day reading this macabre set of tales. Atmospheric, moody and unsettling - and highly recommended. - Reviewed by Jack Magnus for Readers' FavoriteThe main appeal was the way the stories were written. Just from the literary side of things, it was a joy to read. The stories are incredibly entertaining. - Reviewed by Kim Anisi for Readers' FavoriteWhen Dolls Talk will captivate and terrify you. The style of narration gradually builds the anticipation and dread in the reader, enabling you to connect with the characters' emotions as if they were your own. -Reviewed by Faridah Nassozi for Readers' FavoriteWhen Dolls Talk is not the usual anthology of mildly scary stories, but something more sophisticated - every story hits your nerves and gives you the chills. You clearly taste the perfect blend of dark imagination and reality. So well written it sounds like poetry. - Reviewed by Scila Colombo for Readers' Favorite
