I would like to register a complaint with the 'Leisure Books' art department. When I see a book called 'Toyland' with a row of toy skeletal toy soldiers marching at me from the cover, I expect haunted toys in my novel. There were no haunted toys to be found. Little bigot ghost girl is a fine enough antagonist, it just doesn't have the same feel.

Once I got over the initial, crushing, disappointment I liked 'Toyland'. A young family with some baggage arrives at their fine New England home in a fine New England town and experience some disturbing phenomena. This ties in with the back history of the house which involves a little bigot girl and her neurotic mother.

The book is well-written for the type, and it was refreshing to have it from a female pen, especially when it comes to the dangers of female sexuality. The Baby Boomer I'm-raising-my-children-without-proper-religion guilt was well played here as well. I can find absolutely nothing about this author online, it doesn't seem like she wrote anything else. Which is too bad. Many of her peers put out far worse and got extended contracts.
