Dollhouse Paperback – October 13, 2015

Tim Miller has yet to disappoint. His characters are consistently well developed, while not becoming trite and marginalized. He makes both his villains and victims people you want to know more about. In the genre of extreme horror, the protagonists, victims, "good guys", are usually nothing more than gore fodder. Most writers in this genre don't make the good guys realistic or likeable, interesting or more than just imaginary bags of flesh to be torn asunder. Often we lose any interest in the story, because there isn't one. This book is fast paced enough I could not put it down, yet interesting enough I found myself re-reading parts to make sure I got the whole picture. It was a truly great book. I became a fan of Miller when I found most writers in the genre to be a let down. Gore, sex, but no story, no substance. Miller makes even, especially his villains, fascinating. They could be anyone you know, and they are not just random hillbillies intent on eating you and raping what's left. If Miller DID create such a character, he'd develop it so well it would be unrecognizable from most books of that kind. In fact, Miller has gone into cannibalism and other such topics that have been beat to death, yet when he writes it it becomes new. Dollhouse is an exceptional book of a man and his depravity. Of how anyone could fall victim to a human monster...maybe survive. His "bad guy" is incredibly well developed, and goes above and beyond the usual psycho this genre often makes so similar. PLEASE!!! If you love horror, read this book. Once you do, you'll be a fan of this authors work. Whether a realistic killer, demons, or even clowns on a rampage, Miller makes the reader go on a fantastic ride. You will not ever regret buying one of these books. Dollhouse is a truly scary, fascinating book about a man from both the view of his own mind and the minds of those he torments. Absolutely recommend!!!!!!

Something about dolls has always creeped me out ! The way they stare blankly at nothing yet there eyes always seem to be following you. In This book Tim Miller took it to the next level. The characters were great, as always the attention to detail was great, and the book was well paced. Never a dull moment when reading Tim's work. This book is highly recommended for those that have a high tolerance for gore and torture 😀👏👏

Needless to say, Jodi, Ernie and Bob, all end up in a very bizarre three way situation,but what else should we expect from a Tim Miller story?Keep them coming Tim.........

Jodi is a pretty, customer service rep in a cell phone store. Bob is her creepy, over tanned, boss. Tired of Bobs sexual harassment, she takes an offer from Ernie Lester. Disguised as a job interview, Lester drugs Jodi. By keeping women paralyzed, Lester plays with his "dolls". After many of Millers trademark sick and twisted turns, Jodi has been abused by both Bob and Ernie. She makes an impossible escape, only to be blown off by the police. Jodi will have her revenge, and it will be gruesomely well written!!

This is the first full Tim Miller book that I have read and will not be the last!!! This book has a little bit of everything in it - love story (although it is twisted in the best way), action, violence, gore....I rooted for Jodi from the very beginning...The ending of this book is INSANE (again - in the best way) and left me hoping that more would magically appear.Tim Miller is clearly a talented story teller with his own unique style. He is a true master of his craft. I highly recommend not only this book, but also Tim Miller as an author to follow!! I cannot wait to read more of his books. This is one of the easiest five star ratings that I have given a book!!! Well Done Tim!!!

I’ll be honest, I hated this books ending, BUT, that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy the book. I’d like to clarify there was nothing WRONG with the ending, it just wasn’t’ the one I was hoping for. That’s on me.Now, on to the book. It’s genuinely creepy and has some really deep psychologically moments. It’s also an extreme horror book, so if you’re not into that, don’t get it. If you ARE into that, you’re going to love this book.Lester is everything you fear in a villain; quiet, unassuming, non-threatening, and dangerous. He’d be scary enough if he just killed you, but that’s not what he does.I’m not going to give awy too much of the plot, but this author has made a fan out of me.

First off, the cover featuring Bonny Capps was eerily beautiful and drew me to this book. I have previously enjoyed many of Tim Miller's books and this was another terrifying story to read. All that Jodi had to endure physically and be witness to was the stuff of true nughtmares. When Ernie gained a partner, things become even more horrific. There was a slight sliver of hope and then revenge and yet, the darkness was always waiting to take over once again. That ending was equal parts terrible and perfect!Tim Miller's always pushing the limits with his words and it's one of the reasons that I enjoy his tales. Dollhouse was a frighteningly fantastic addition to my collection and I highly recommend it.

Miller's Dollhouse starts off well with good solid character development of the main character and the villain is better drawn.The plot moves at a good pace and he masters building tension very well. The various plot turns are handled masterfully. There is a glimmer of hope for the antagonist but sometimes minute details get in the way when dealing with forensics and criminal psychiatry that limits some believability to some small instances. This does not take away from the story but causes a slight hole in the plot.Miller is an extremely talented writer and at times this does come through strongly when developing his characters and plot. It sometimes let down by the need to rush through the action segments which if pace was loosen just a smidge could bring his stylised writing to the next level.Dollhouse is well written and Miller has upped his game in this twisted psychological terrorised world that he has developed. The action pieces are sick and often perverted run a very opaque manner but for the core audience, this will fit extremely comfortable in this genre.This is a cut above what you would normally find in this subgenre of horror and Miller is top of his game here. The main characters are flushed out lifting from the cardboard cut outs normally found in this genre. Jodi is exceptionally well written with a believable pathos.The ending is either positive or negative depending on how you like your endings which won't please everyone. Personally, I kind of liked the ending but might have preferred the alternative. Saying this, I do respect the choice here.Miller is a talent in the extreme horror field and does show a high amplitude in his writing which grows from strength to strength. I am eager to see where is writing goes as I can see him breakaway and coming out with an extreme horror novel that could be the opus in this genre.Dollhouse is a quick read and enjoyable and is highly recommended. It is extremely violent and if you like this type of horror then this is definitely for you. If you are new to this genre, then this is definitely a great place to start.Working on multiple levels, Dollhouse is a definite qualified read to see how it is done.

I was really disappointed with this book after getting excited by the amazing synopsis. The story was okay but predictable; nothing new. I also found looking past the constant errors quite challenging. It would've been alright if it'd had been one or two but it would appear that this book hasn't been proofread at all.

Really enjoyed this story and as usual, Tim Miller is great at writing action and having all hell break loose. It keeps you gripped till the end.

Not as violent as other books,but still has a lot of sick bits of acfion,the ending was not what I thought

A GOOD STORY WHICH KEPT ME AWAKE FOR 2 NIGHTS. I THOUGHT I HAD FIGURED OUT THE ENDING HALFWAY THROUGH BUT WITHOUT SPOILING IT FOR YOU I COULDNT HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG. I DEFINATELY RECCOMEND THIS READ.
