I read this book as a kid, it came in a boxed set of creepy stories. I loved them all, but they terrified me. I kept them, and at age 28 I imagine they'd still be scary! I'm about to read the set again though, for a glimpse into the worlds they paint. Aside from The Dollhouse Murders, there's also Christina's Ghost and Ghosts Beneath Our Feet. That last one, especially, is really creepy. At least as I remember it from years ago. I recommend them all. But not if your kid is squeamish ;)
