SynopsisWhen the doll was handed to me, I said he looked like hell. The woman who sold him to me replied that something coming from hell was bound to look like it. From the very first day paranormal investigator Stephen Lancaster brought him home, Norman the Doll raised hell. He caused sudden infestations of rats and spiders. He frightened dogs and put children in trances. He even moved on his own in video surveillance footage. That was just the beginning. Norman takes you on a chilling journey into Stephen's life with a doll that has held the spirit of an unborn child for over fifty years--a haunted doll that still lives in Stephen's house. What began as a curious find at an antique store soon escalated to a supernatural nightmare that could only be eased by locking Norman away in his own room. Praise: "Dedicated readers of horror and internet creepypasta stories will thrill to the mounting evil and the ersatz solution Lancaster and his wife devise to appease Norman. A must-read for fans of the Chucky and Annabelle movies."-- Booklist, When the doll was handed to me, I said he looked like hell.

Fast paced, cover to cover, can't put it down. Disturbing.
It delivers intense situations concerning this "Haunted" doll. There are even pictures from the authors ' own security cameras. I haven't read the second book yet, but I imagine it will be as shocking and frightening as the first. My only question is why he would "hold on" to an object that is presented as potentially deadly, even to his loved ones. I guess it became his muse as well as his subject.
