To All the YA I've Loved Before

The Collector + Creepy Dolls in the Modern Age


Listen Later

We’re back on our creepy doll bullshit with the 2018 middle grade horror book The Collector by K.R. Alexander. We have a lot of questions (and a few answers) after reading this book like are the baby dolls in this story all children that have been turned into dolls? What’s with all these creepy doll stories being set in the midwest? Are we going to talk about Reagan, Taylor Swift, and the Barbie movie every episode (probably)? We get philosophical when it comes to what the baby doll means in childhood and girlhood, and talk about the specialness of grandma’s basement — including Kaycee’s grandma’s weird Disney knock-off VHS movies. Plus, bird baths full of baby doll heads…there’s not much more to say about that.
