Published By: Zebra Books Publish Date: December 1990 The doll was an extraordinary piece: Her hair was real, her features in perfect proportion, even her clothes seemed as though they were made one hundred years ago. But most remarkable was that her identical twin had been on display at Fawn and Laura's antique shop for years. Well, the dolls were almost identical. There was something about the smile of this one, and her eyes... they seemed so real... The accidents began the day the twin doll was discovered. People were maimed, killed, and always the doll was found nearby. Then Fawn noticed an old photograph of a great aunt she never knew; the face was hauntingly familiar. And when she rummaged through her grandfather's books, she unearthed a dark family secret, a heinous crime best left forgotten. Suddenly, all the accidents began to make a certain horrifying sense... |

It was as if some force from beyond knew about the terrible crimes that had transpired in this little town and finally wanted to reveal the evil that lived there. Then the sightings began. All those lost, almost forgotten children; kids who hadn't aged a day in all the years since their disappearance - like the teenage boy who still wore the same clothes he'd last been seen in, or the golden-haired little girl who still clutched that same doll. Reverend Dalton didn't know why the children had picked this moment to come home, but he did know one thing: now was the time for a terrible truth to finally be revealed. Now was the time for... THE RECKONING. |
