The Dummy by Jonny Ward

Walter finds a ventriloquist dummy. A childhood dream come true. But things begin to shift. Time slips, shadows move, and the line between old trauma and outside influence thins. The dummy sits still through it all. Watching. Smiling. What follows is a spiral into ancient horror, obsession, and fractured faith, as Walter uncovers The Dummy's purpose. Whatever lives behind that painted grin has plans for him, and they reach far beyond one broken mind.
