Strangely fascinating,

This review is from: The Doll Maker and Other Tales of the Uncanny (Hardcover)
Sarban wrote a few strange storiesin the fifties that fall into the horror/fantasy/science fiction/magic realism categories if they fall anywhere at all. They have a kind of sexual tension and involve cruelty with females as victims but never any explicit sex or splatterpunk.The heroine here is a studious teenager at a British boarding school who becomes involved with the enigmatic owner of an ancient house nearby. His hobby is making dolls. It starts innocently enough but we gradually learn why his dolls are so amazingly life-like and suspense builds up. Sarban's books are now mysteriously (which is right in character) difficult to obtain and are out of print, with used copies of "The Sound of His Horn" and "Ringstones" being surpisingly expensive. |
