Abraham Merritt, “Burn Witch Burn”.
This is an unusual tale of witchcraft involving demonic dolls, a tale that also involves gangsters and an unfortunate doctor caught in the middle. The dolls are very disturbing, and although they’ve since become a bit of a horror cliché back in 1933 when this book was published they were still an idea that was fresh and original. It’s a short book that moves along very quickly but there’s plenty of tension and there are some genuinely creepy moments.
