Maika Monroe Is Our July Cover Star!

Hey dolls,

It’s Thursday which means we’re back in your inboxes with another Dollhouse roundup! We’re so excited to say that our July cover star is Maika Monroe – star of Longlegs, the internet’s current horror obsession - who features in an exclusive photoshoot, alongside an interview with Alison Rumfitt, on the site.

Elsewhere, we’re dissecting MaXXXine as the X trilogy comes to a close, we caught up with Maggie Nelson by email, and much more. Plus, for London dolls, we’ve got a special discounted ticket link for tickets to JUMBI Peckham’s birthday party. Take a look!
