Puppet Skin

Hannah graduates from middle school on Friday. That's the day she transforms into a living puppet, like her parents and teachers before her. No longer a human girl made of flesh and feelings, but a perfect wooden new self, whose strings lead up from her limbs into an endless black void above. With no pain. No sorrow. No sickness. No fear. But Hannah has begun to suspect that something is very, very wrong. And in a world where emotion is treated like a disease, and unknown terrors lurk inside everyone, just keeping your soul alive past childhood might be the greatest challenge of all. "PUPPET SKIN is a dark, grotesquely-beautiful Bizarro nightmare fable for alienated teens of all ages. If you've ever felt lost in this deranged universe, Danger's book knows exactly what you mean." - John Skipp, author of THE LIGHT AT THE END and THE ART OF HORRIBLE PEOPLE

From the Inside Flap

"An innovative circus show of all things weird and wonderful...[Puppet Skin is] The Catcher in the Rye meets Saw in a borderline dystopian fairytale gone wrong." - CULTURED VULTURES"At turns touching, funny, scary, and downright gross, Puppet Skin fully utilizes the horror genre's unique ability to simultaneously entertain, confound, and illuminate. Highly recommended." - CEMETERY DANCE"Bizarro horror at it's best!" - SPLATTERPUNK ZINE"Danger Slater is fearless, and should be ashamed of himself. Thank God he's not." - JOSH MALERMAN, author of Bird Box "Slater has taken Bizarro fiction to the next level." - DIRGE MAGAZINE
