Enter the twisted mind of Jonny Ward

The Dummy

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.

Published on December 31st, it is available on Amazon in print and book and will be available on Barnes and Noble & Indigo February 2nd.
