Read OnlineBurn, Witch, Burn! is a classic fantasy/horror and mystery novel by A. Merritt. Originally published as a magazine serial in 1924, and subtitled The Mystery of the Death Dolls - Was it Black Magic? It soon appeared as a book and by 1936 was used as a basis for the 1936 film The Devil Doll, directed by Tod Browning. Known for his science fiction here A. Merritt explores the world of supernatural horror. Dr. Lowell is a neurologist specializing in abnormal psychology. He is investigating a series of horrible deaths in New York. Then he meets Madame Mandilip, a doll shop owner, and her dolls from hell. “The man in the hospital room died a terrible death, slowly and in agony. His eyes were open, and on his face was an extraordinary expression of torror, a fear mixed with horror. There was nothing all the resources of medical science could do for him, not even diagnose his disease. There was no wound, nomarkn, nothing – except little globes of phosphorescence in his blood. And suddenly, at the last moment, a low chuckling sound came from his throat, inhuman, the laughter of a devil. And he was dead, dead with the face of a grinning, triumphant fiend - all humanity wiped from it.”
