When 17-year-old Lanie moves into her late grandmother's Victorian house, she uncovers a hidden attic room filled with lifelike wax dolls - each bearing the names of missing people from her town. Among them is a doll that looks exactly like her childhood friend who vanished years ago.

What starts as a haunting mystery soon turns into a nightmare. The dolls aren't just objects - they're alive, and they remember everything. As Lanie digs into her family's dark past, she must confront a terrifying legacy buried deep beneath the wax... or risk becoming the next doll on the shelf.

The Gory Details (Gross)

53 parts Complete Mature

Between 2004 and 2008 I wrote a series of "Tips for Writers" for Nocturnal Ooze magazine vaguely about what would happen in real life if you did the things they do in movies but mostly about the gross out. I've always loved them and so have taken them out of mothballs for a new audience here on wattpad. They're all here except for #13 which seems to have vanished. I've also left them mostly intact except for a few very dated references that have been updated. I own the rights to the articles and Queen Mum of the Ooze, Kay Patterson has allowed me to keep the name "Gore Monger" (which she owns) provided I write: The Gore Monger appears courtesy of Nocturnal Ooze.
