Her pearl teeth crashed against his with the sound of cymbals and her warm fragrant breath blew around him like an Italian gale. Dolls mannequins humanoid toys and dummies are the quintessential symbols of the uncanny referenced by Freud in his foundational essay on the phenomenon of the familiar - turned - unsettling and remaining a terrifying recurring menace of horror media today. In this new collection Elizabeth Dearnley revives a sinister troupe of uncannily animated figures from tales across the 19th and 20th centuries by authors including E T A Hoffmann Angela Carter Vernon Lee Algernon Blackwood and Rosemary Timperley. Terror and nightmares await when the doors of the doll house swing open and its denizens come out to play.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Deadly Dolls Midnight Tales Of Uncanny Playthings\u003cbr\u003e\nBrand: British Library Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780712355704\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 272 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 6\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: British Library Tales of the Weird\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Short Stories","brand":"British Library Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51351500652849,"sku":"IN-G-9780712355704","price":24.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780712355704-deadly-dolls-midnight-tales-of-uncanny-playthings","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
