A review of The Dummy

A lifelike dummy. A strange dinner party. A soul that won’t stay dead.

When struggling actor/waiter Luke Barrett is assigned to serve a bizarre memorial dinner, he doesn’t expect the guest of honor to be a creepy carpool dummy—or for the night to follow him home.

But soon, Luke begins blacking out. Seeing things. Becoming someone else.

As his reality unravels, he realizes the dummy isn’t just a lifeless prop.

It’s watching. Waiting. And it wants in.

From bestselling author William Massa comes a chilling short story of possession and occult terrors. A quick read that can be read or listened to in one unsettling sitting.

The Dummy is available now on Amazon in both eBook and Audiobook formats.
