What secrets does the dollhouse hold? On Alice's sixth birthday, she got the gift she didn't know she always wanted: a big, beautiful 19th- century dollhouse, complete with a family of antique dolls. In no time at all, the dollhouse isn't just Alice's favourite toy...it's her whole world. And soon young Alice learns she can magically enter the house to visit a new group of friends, straight out of a heart-warming children's novel: the Dollhouse family. But in the real world, her family life is much darker...and deep within the Dollhouse's twisting halls, the Black Room waits, with an offer to Alice. The house can fix all this, the room says. All she has to do is say the words... From writer M.R. Carey (The Girl with All the Gifts, Lucifer) comes The Dollhouse Family, from the smash-hit line-up of the Hill House Comics library. Featuring riveting artwork by Peter Gross (The Books of Magic) and Vince Locke (A History of Violence), this chilling collection features The Dollhouse Family #1-6.
I received a copy of The Dollhouse Family in exchange for a fair and honest review.
The Dollhouse Family is the second horror story to come from Hill House Comics, the newest horror line from DC Comics. I personally am thrilled that DC is diving into the world of horror, and can't wait to see what else they come up with.
There are strange and dark things hidden throughout this world. Sometimes, those strange and deadly creatures latch onto one family in particular. This is the tale of one monster, one girl, and how her life was changed by a dollhouse.
A dollhouse may not sound like the most terrifying of subjects, but this is no ordinary dollhouse. It has captivated and tortured Alice ever since she was a little girl, forcing changes into her life that she was incapable of stopping.
Mike Carey (writer), Peter Gross (artist), Vince Locke (artist), and Chris Peter (colorist) were all involved in this second project, and boy does it get dark.
