Toy Land There they were, just as he remembered. Rooms and rooms of them. Dolls. Toy soldiers. Clowns. When he was a kid, his Aunt Cary's toy collection should have been a child's paradise. But instead he had been terrified by their staring eyes . . . Toy Hell Twenty years had passed since Jay Clute set foot in Victory, Missouri. Twenty years of trying to forget that night--that hellish night of unimaginable horror. Now his Aunt Cary was dead, and it's all been left to him--the house, the furniture, every last piece of her toy collection. And nothing has changed. Not the painted-on dolly smiles or the garish clown colors--or the tiny hands dripping with bright red blood . . .

You know I finished this a while ago and didn't leave a review. So here goes nothing. This book is probably Johnstones best horror novel I have read so far. He does have a magic to his horror novels I've never seen before and it is charming in it's own way. It's very campy, and reads like a movie almost. Basic premise is man returns to his hometown with his daughter, something is wrong in the town and they uncover a mystery with the help of some locals. A few key scenes do stand out for me, and it has its moments where it slows down, and let's you breathe for maybe one or two pages. Overall it is a fun and ridiculous read about a town taken over by evil, animated toy soldiers on two sides of an unknown war(?), the humans caught in the crossfire and their plight to fix things. If you're in the mood for some silly fun and a cliche but ridiculous premise with some extreme bits (incest). You'd like this one I think. Now I went in head first with this being my first Johnstone and that was probably a mistake in a way. His devils books are where I should have started. Also don't read Night Mask it sucks.
