About the Book
Deep in the recesses of childhood memory, your old playthings await. Listen: don’t you hear them crying out for you?
Take a peek inside the Cabinet of Wrath to find out what really happens when toys go missing, and what doll heads really think about being separated from their bodies. Follow a skull-and-bones novelty ring as it assembles a full body for itself, bit by grisly bit, and learn how loving your doll too much can lead to grave consequences.
Open the door to these fabulist tales of toys and vengeance for a playtime you’ll never forget.
