Product Description

Product Description

Five months after her sister Gloria disappeared, Kitty Seevers receives a lock of Gloria's hair in the mail. No return address. Just a cryptic message that brings Kitty to the Bamboo Lounge and into the twisted realm of ventriloquist Ronny McBane and his dummy, Piggy.

Kitty descends into a haunted place where reality is frayed, where the puppetmaster and puppet seem to have reversed roles—-a nightmare place where a dummy moves and speaks when his master is nowhere near him.

Kitty suspects not only is there something wrong with McBane and his dummy, but a greater evil is at work as those named by the dummy are dying horrible deaths. And now she has been named by the same soul-eater that destroyed her sister.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creepy and scary and brilliant! 3 Oct 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
This is the story of Kitty. One day she receives a letter that contains a lock of hair - she knows it's her sisters and sets out to find out what has happened to her. She knows she worked for a ventriloquist so she starts her search there. Soon she learns secrets she wishes she hadn't and things take a very sinister turn.....

This was brilliant! It was scary and atmospheric and creepy and did I mention scary? So much so that I had to step away from it for a bit as it was freaking me out a little. I love a book that can do that - even better as this was a novella. Busting at the seams with witchcraft and malevolence, this was definitely a wild ride - not one for the easily scared. I recommend it totally!

I received a complimentary copy of this novella in exchange for my honest review.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Creepiest Ventriloquist Dummy-EVER! 8 Jun 2012
By Charlene - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
This novella ROCKED!
I've always had a slight fear of dolls, puppets and the always scary ventriloquist dummies. Ever since I saw the movie Magic as a child these dummies creep me out. This novella featured the creepiest dummy EVER!

The story starts with a young woman named Kitty who is thinking about her sister who disappeared shortly after joining on with a ventriloquism act. Kitty wants to find out what happened because her sister would never just take off like that without at least a phone call. She tracks down the ventriloquist and gets a job where he works so she can be close and keep an eye on them. She begins to notice that the dummy (Piggy)seems almost to have a life of its own. From there on, reality goes off its rails.

I really enjoyed how this author worked in the stories of several different people to give a full view of Piggy's activities over the years. The way it was done was awesome and it helped to build the tension as more and more was discovered about Piggy and his handler's(Ronny)history. I also enjoyed the pacing of the story-I HAD to find out what happened. There are some very graphic, messed up scenes, so this one is not for the faint of heart.
One last word of warning-don't expect to sleep soundly after you're done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scariest dummy since Magic 17 Dec 2012
By MommaCat - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Ever read Magic by William Goldman? Do ventriloquist dummy's scare you/creep you out? Dolls, clowns and other inanimate objects scare me.

Tim Curran went outside the box with Puppet Graveyard. You have never read a book like this before. Trust me, you really haven't. Tim had me squirming in my chair and after a certain scene, I simply stopped reading. Just stopped, took a break and finished the book the next day.

I read a lot of horror. I'm jaded. Run of the mill horror books don't bother me. You have been warned. This is not for the faint of heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars "PIGGY" is Curran's Latest Nightmare Character 10 Dec 2012
By James C. Kelly - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
If dolls creep you out as much as they do me then this novella is just for you. Not since "Chuckie" has a doll been so evil and destructive. Curran is putting out some creepy stuff and if you want a gruesome mystery full of suspense, then take a ride on the horror train and don't miss this book.
