"The Doll-House" is a short story by Hugh Parry, under the name "James Cross".[1] It was first published in Harlan Ellison's 1967 science fiction anthology Dangerous Visions.[1]
Synopsis[edit]
When Jim Eliot is in financial trouble, he asks for help from his wife's uncle, who gives him a dollhouse containing a miniature oracle.
Reception[edit]
Ted Gioia described "The Doll-House" as "a very appealing mixture of ancient mythology and modern psychodrama".[1] Algis Budrys said that it was a Weird Tales-style story, only published in Dangerous Visions because "Harlan got desperate for material".[2]
The manuscript for "The Doll-House" is held in the Hugh Parry collection at Boston University.[3]
