Do dolls or doubles or eyes make you twitch? Fourteen authors were challenged to unnerve us, guided by Freud's 1919 list of irrational fears in literature. This collection isn't gore and full blown horror - in fact I was more unnerved by the anticipation of the book than by reading it. However it did evoke disgust, pity, sadness, even grim amusement, and lives up to its subtitle of Tales of Unease. Try Dolls Eyes or The Dummy or the one that got to me, Family Motel. This book is for readers who want thoughtful, disturbing tales that will put them just a touch on edge.
