Dolls can't move by themselves. . . . Or can they?

This

readers up at night for thirty-five years features a foreword by Goosebumps creator R.L. Stine.

Amy

is terrified. She hears scratching and scurrying noises coming from the

dollhouse in the attic, and the dolls she was playing with are not

where she left them. Dolls can't move by themselves, she tells

herself. But every night when Amy goes up to check on the dollhouse,

it's filled with an eerie light and the dolls have moved again! Are the

dolls trying to tell her something? Could this all be connected to the

murders of her great-grandparents?

Sinister secrets unravel as

Amy gets closer to revealing the mystery of the dolls in this haunting

novel that combines complicated family relationships with a

bone-chilling mystery. Even readers who love scary stories will want to

keep the lights on after finishing!

The all-new foreword and

jacket art make this spooky classic, an Edgar award nominee, perfect for

sharing with a new generation.

Reviews for Dollhouse Murders (35th Anniversary Edition)

The quintessential ghost story...The story is so vivid that even now, years later, I can close my eyes and see the dolls moving in the dollhouse at night, restaging the murder of Amy's grandparents. Although this book may be aimed at middle-school readers, its sneaky, creepy power is sure to appeal to teens, too. --School Library Journal
