Ryan is a reluctant father with little patience for childish things. He particularly loathes his five-year-old daughter’s princess doll that Freya uses as the mouthpiece to voice all her own wants and desires.

Tired of the plastic tyrant ruling their family life, Ryan decides to use a fun day out as an opportunity to detach his daughter from the doll and re-establish his parental authority. But when things don’t go to plan, Ryan is left wondering if the doll is far more than just the inanimate object he thought it was…

The Descent of the Doll is the sixth sinister short story in the Chilling Childlore collection, written by award-winning author Victoria Williamson and available to purchase as an anthology.
