I loved the shit out of that book and its incredibly unappealing creepy weirdness. It's like someone (Maggie?) tried to create a whimsical fantasy for nice children and accidentally created a shambling abomination soaked to the bone with sadness. But I think that was on purpose. I don't know, I haven't reread it in a long time. I don't think the dementia-dollhood resemblance isn't supposed to be subtly horrifying, for example. But if it's not on purpose, I still love it. It got inside my head in a big way.
