This story is enjoyable, well written, and spooky. An island with decapitated dolls hanging from the trees is the perfect setting for some evil to be unleashed.Although it feels original, in many ways it follows the formula of lots of Horror films in that the main character is a single parent, who tries to protect her child but at the same time wonders if the child is entirely normal, or even to blame. She also has a divorce to deal with which means a separate struggle not only to keep it together, but also to not be the "bad parent" always spoiling the fun. The problem is that her daughter's idea of fun is her idea of a living nightmare.The ending wasn't a huge surprise, but the way it is written more than makes up for that. Nice spooky little story which ticks all the boxes.
