The Doll Factory
by Elizabeth Macneal
Doll Factory is so creepy and intense that some people will need trigger warnings. Given that the main villain is a crazy taxidermist, it's not surprising that dead animals played a part in the story. I did, however, find it hard to read the depictions of animal and human torture. So much so that it made me disconnect with the book and want to put it down.
The writing was really good, and the plot was definitely interesting, but it just wasn't something I enjoyed reading. I loved the time period and usually can appreciate dark themes, but this just seemed a little far out there for me.
