The Paper Doll Museum

By award-winning mystery author Abigail Padgett, The Paper Doll Museum Museum stretches mystery one step further – into a shrouded world of which many are aware, but about which few ever speak. Retired, divorced and addicted to eggplant, Taylor Blake is seeing things. That aren’t there. Determined to forestall the inevitable trip to a locked facility, she skillfully hides the fact that her life has become a horror movie. But at a club dance, an octogenarian stalker in a cowboy costume leaves her an invitation to… The Paper Doll Museum. There Taylor’s worst fears are subsumed in a reality beyond imagining. She learns that she isn’t crazy. She’s a Revenant, one of a new and peculiar group of people who have survived the reproductive years only to regain the magical perceptions of childhood. But the magic is accompanied by a reappearance of childhood’s dark side as well, a ghoul now possessed of mature and horrific power. There really is something terrible hiding in the dark. There always was. Fortunately, Taylor Blake can kick ass. It’s a good thing, because something ancient and hideous threatens the very scaffolding of human life. Something only Revenants can see. And something only Revenants can fight. Assuming they get their act together before it’s too late.
