A hidden mansion. A silent carousel. Missing girls.


Hunted by her uncle, a thirteen-year-old girl flees into the woods and stumbles into a secret world of nightmarish horrors: a basement full of life-size toys and kidnapped girls forced to dress as dolls--a place where escape only exists in dreams.


In the days before she knew a toy box could be a place of dread;before her hair was curled in ringlets and her lips were painted red; before she forgot her name; she was Molly Parkes.
