The Gift He Shouldn’t Have Given

Some gifts are beautiful. Some are broken.

And some… are waiting.



When Daniel surprises June with a vintage porcelain doll for her birthday, she smiles—trying not to show the chill crawling down her spine.



The doll is cracked. Cold. Dressed in velvet from another time.

But from the moment June touches it, she begins to change.



Her dreams twist.

Her reflection moves when she doesn't.

And she begins to remember things—things that never happened to her.



As her love for Daniel deepens, so does her fear:

something inside the doll is watching her… and it's not watching her, it's watching him.



Inspired by the real-life Annabelle case from the Warren archives, The Gift He Shouldn’t Have Given is a chilling tale of possession, past lives, and a love so strong it refuses to stay buried—even in death.
