RIP People of The Titanic, The Lovely Bones and The Woman in Black

RIP to all on Titanic. My mom sailed on the Olympia in 1953; she recorded it was a Cunard ship in her diary. I have Rose and Molly Brown dolls and photos of the doll on the floor of the wreck. There is a doll in the TV movie based on Danielle Steel's book about the ship, with Kelly Rutherford. We also have a tiny piece of coal and some replica china.

I just read Alice Sebold The Lovely Bones and saw the film. Dolls and doll house figure prominently, and the serial killer is a maker of doll houses. We have a kind of doll house view mixing with the "big" people in the film, and the same view as we watch scenes unfold in different households involved. The writing is similar to Kallos' in Sing them Home. We see the POV of dead characters as well as living and the thesis is that the dead are with us always, and never quite leave us.

Susan Hill's The Woman in Black features a really "UnExcellent Woman" who wants revenge; a child dies each time her ghost is seen. There are dolls and toys described in the book in great detail and also featured in the movie trailer. More when I actually see the film. This is very gothic/Jane Eyre horror. Hill gets in my head; it is the stuff of nightmares.
