Is this, Unexpected: 11 Mysterious Stories, edited by Laura E. Williams, the book? I personally like the one with the dolls. I forgot what some stories were but i remember a few names: "Loser", "Infinity Jinx", and "Who Murdered Henry Horse".
An Introduction by the editor and 11 stories. An eerie house filled with forgotten treasures... A young detective from the future... A miniature village that feels like home... A mom abducted by trolls...
These are just a few of the eleven mysterious encounters conjured up by some of today's most popular and acclaimed authors.
