Puppet Skin
<i> "Danger Slater is fearless, and should be ashamed of himself. Thank God he's not."</i> - <b>Josh Malerman</b>, author of BIRD BOX<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><i><br />"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."</i> - <b>John Skipp</b>, author of THE LIGHT AT THE END and THE ART OF HORRIBLE PEOPLE
