Virgina Watts' multi-award-winning debut collection delivers the goods from cover to cover with 15 compelling short tales. Here's a taste of what's in store...
In “Dollhouse,” young Deirdre survives a day sure to haunt her while serving as a source of strength, for when she visits a sickly, bed-ridden great uncle whose glass eye rests within a jar under his bed... watching Deirdre's every move.
An old woman dressed in black mysteriously appears one morning in a rural coal mining town, shortly after a mine shaft collapse claims the lives of several local miners. Known as "Queenie," she lives in an Airstream silver bullet trailer perched on the edge of Black Hawk Mountain. The locals believe she is the soul of their mountain, but why has she come?
A group of neighborhood friends sets out to discover what 13-year-old Jeff actually witnessed after he swears to have seen "weird" Mr. Hocker pushing a dead body in a black garbage bag to the top of their street. Was Jeff's imagination playing tricks on him, or is something sinister afoot? The title story, "The Hocker House," holds the answers.
These and other unsettling stories—fifteen in all—await you.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
