Hell's toy box

The story begins with a man and his daughter going to his hometown to settle his Aunt's estate, what they walk into is a town controlled by an ancient evil. The town is filled with people who are living, life size, dolls and people transformed into toys. They find allies to fight the evil from other people to toys who have been maimed for not submitting to the evil. They all fight against the evil, but will it be enough for any of them to survive? Johnstone makes one of the more better horror stories that blows most horror stories out of the water.

anothor good one

I have only read a couple of Mr Johnstones books and both were wonderful storys.Well ploted,evenly paced with characters you care about.And a book I couldn't pute down

Toy Land....Toy Hell!

William W Johnstone's novel "Toy Cemetery" starts out fast and furious like a lot of his novels. It's got a decent storyline about a town taken over by an ancient evil. In fact parts of the storyline are quite similar to his previous trilogy Devil's Kiss, Heart and Touch. As with most Zebra books the summary on the back is quite deceptive. The toys in the story really are a minor character. In fact, Johnstone's novel is full of characters, some of them are throw away some of them are keepers. It's a shame because it's the sheer amount of characters in his novel that prevents me from giving it 5 stars. Written mostly like a classic pulp horror novel, it is quite graphic in it's violence. Sometimes funny..sometimes chilling its a quick easy read for those looking to remember the days of pulp horror novels. Authors like Johnstone often get burried under the works of King, Koontz, Saul and others and are often overlooked lost treasures. I recommend Johnstones writing for the most part because it's light refreshing entertainment that won't bog you down. Toy Cemetary while not his best horror novel is quite entertaining nonetheless.

Another great Johnstone work

William W. Johnstone is the greatest horror writer of all time.Each book keeps you on the edge.Toy Cemetery was awsome.The evil dolls in Aunt Cary's toy collection get their revenge in the end.
