Mansion of Dolls
Community Rating
Description
Taryn Lowell has been dealing with one horrible thing after another while still coping with the sudden death of her brother. Yet when an invitation to go to Tokyo Japan, offered to her by her ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend no less, Taryn couldn’t help but wonder why and cautiously excepted.
Thinking that it would be good to get her mind off things for a while. That it would be an experience, she would never forget.
While the latter half of this trip is staying at a historic mansion in a remote village, one almost completely cut off from the rest of the world. However, within this rural village, there are several old stories passed off as legends or rumours. The story of a Priestess who sacrificed herself to many demons protecting her village by binding herself in ropes soaked in her blood. While rumours of a demon that is said to resemble a man or a woman will whisk unsuspecting travellers away in the dead of night if they wander into the forest, all while looking like a living doll...
Such stories and rumours are often truths distorted through countless years being passed from word of mouth, yet how much remains true while the rest becomes fiction? Or were such things even fiction to begin with?

- FastFoodNationRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5I do not really like horror stories. I think this story is a bit predictable or maybe it is intended. Some of the characters I do not even like.
But, it has charme. Somehow it gripped me enough that I couldn't stop following the story. It has a wonderful setting, the tension is slowly increasing, I really like the main character and the other characters have interesting personalities. All in all, it has that special something that a story really needs and makes you fall in love with it. It could definitively be a professional work.
I think, it will be hard to find a foothold on the site of mostly LitRPG. Thank you for providing this fine story!
