When paranormal investigator Stephen Lancaster brought home an old doll from an antique shop, he had no idea what bizarre and terrifying things were about to occur. From Day One, Norman the doll raised Hell. He caused sudden infestations of rats and spiders. He frightened dogs and put children in trances. He even moved on his own in video surveillance footage. And that was just the beginning.

Norman takes you on a thrilling journey into Stephen's life with a doll that has held the spirit of an unborn child for over fifty years. A haunted doll that still lives in Stephen's house, locked away in his own room to keep him from once again endangering the house and Stephen's family.

I received this book via NetGalley to give an honest review.

What pulled me to request this book was the cover and the title. When I read the blurb I realized that I needed to read this book I love anything to do with the paranormal and this sounded right up my alley.

Now I did enjoy the story but I was thinking it would have been more things going on and even a bit scary. I think it was pretty cool that a doll could be possessed by a human. It just makes the paranormal world a bit more mysterious! This story is told from the author and what happened to him and his family while the doll is in their possession, it has a bit of creepy factor to it especially the bugs and mice but nothing I felt was too over the top. 
There are a few pictures that shows what Stephen has captured, what I thought was neat is that the author is an actual investigator of the paranormal.  

If you enjoy the paranormal and like to read about a doll who can move things among other things check this book out. I don't want to go into too much detail on my review as it will give a lot away.
