Synopsis for "My Dolly is the Devil!"

This story is reprinted from Black Magic (Prize) #1.

Ray Shelton came home from work and was shown a new but dirty doll by his son Johnny who claimed that it called to him. Upon seeing the dirty doll, Mae planned to have Vera wash it. The next morning, Ray tripped on the doll while he was walking down the stairs. Vera revealed that she had injured her hand while washing the doll and Johnny claimed that Vera hurt "Dolly." When Johnny was asleep, Ray made plans to dispose of the doll while a frightened Vera made plans to leave. Later, Ray found Vera dead near the gas heater. When the police came to investigate, they detected the scent of gas on Dolly. After Dolly was returned to Johnny, Ray detected a fire in his room and the boy claimed that Dolly started it and thought it was pretty. Johnny told Ray that he found the doll where Old Man Clay had lived before his house burned down. Ray grabbed the doll and rushed with it to the furnace, burning it.
