Doll

By Sallie Osborne

…..Strange gothic like apparitions roaming the ruins of a derelict abbey....a sleep over party that reveals more than just the true champion of Xbox ones “Nukem Road”....and an Ipad that accidentally captures an eerie night time sound not heard for over 300 hundred years.

When an iPad accidentally left on records an unfamiliar and eerie night-time sound, thirteen-year-old Barnaby decides to investigate matters further.

Eventually finding himself at the doors of 'The Bloody Cauldron,' a Gothic horror shop in town, owner Lottie Durant and her sister Aimée present Barnaby with a diary.

Telling of a deadly plague, linked to the appearance of two strangely hooded figures, the diary also mentions a mysterious doll.

Enlisting the help of Julian Claridge, a rather flamboyant antiques dealer, Barnaby and his sister Ruby slowly uncover the whereabouts of the doll, a 300 year old child’s toy named Lulu.

Containing the stolen memories of those killed by the bitter cold London winter of 1664 when ‘The Great Plague’ swept London and taking with it 80000 lives, it becomes clear that they must find the doll at all cost… unfortunately they aren’t the only ones looking.
