Depraved
Ellie Matthews, a nanny with a past, takes a job in a remote, eerie mansion, only to discover her charge is a life-sized doll named Brahms. The eccentric parents insist on strict rules for his care, but Ellie scoffs at the idea. Soon, strange occurrences, an unsettling journal from the previous nanny, and the doll's uncanny movements force Ellie to confront a terrifying truth: Brahms is not just a toy. He's watching. He's listening. And he punishes those who break his rules. Can Ellie survive a night in a house where a doll plays deadly games?The biting wind whipped around Ellie Matthews, making her shiver despite the thick coat. She watched the taillights of the Heelshire's car disappear down the snow-laden driveway, a tight smile still plastered on her face from their departure.
"Lovely little boy," she'd assured them, though her inner thoughts screamed "Rubbish." Because their 'lovely little boy,' Brahms, was a doll. Not a child at all, but a porcelain figure that came with an extensive, bizarre list of instructions.
He needed to eat dinner, then be put to bed. She was never to forget to feed him. Breaking a rule, they'd hinted, could lead to dire consequences. Ellie, however, wasn't about to pretend to feed a doll.
She closed the heavy oak door, the sound echoing through the cavernous, dimly lit mansion. The news had predicted blizzard conditions, and she’d braved the worsening snow for the hefty sum they offered. It was almost 10 PM, and the house staff had already been sent home. She was utterly alone.
