Gives you a feeling that you glimpse something out of the side of your eye. When you turn to see what it is, your rewarded with a tendril of fear creeping along your neck.
Mr. Hands is a cerebral horror. It takes reality twists, chops and mixes it with an unbalanced mental perspective and there you have it. Then of course throws in a head chompimg monster.
I liked the development of Mr. Hands and POV of the characters and why Mr. Hands was. It was a great story told and I look forward to more from Gary A. Braunbeck

Points started falling off toward the end. It started out strong then I felt like the author was at a loss as to how to end it or how to further develop it. I felt the ending was very weak.

This book ends with one of my favorite quotes: "Whoever fights monsters, should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster."
Dolls are creepy little things, aren't they? Neither one of my kids played with dolls. They were scared of them. And it wasn't just because I told them that dolls come to life at night when their tiny little owners are sleeping.
Mr. Hands is carved out of wood, with stubs for legs and really, really long arms with claws for fingers. Who wouldn't want that under the tree come Christmas morning? Anyway, Sarah loved that doll and it was one of the few things left behind by her murderer. Lucy, Sarah's mom, keeps the doll and discovers she is able to 'set things right' by manipulating the doll's alter ego.
Very creepy. Recommend for camping trips when things are wandering around outside, the wind is blowing and branches are snapping.
