Talbot

By Wren Valentino

Previously published as Dummy by Barnes, David-Matthew.

Beverly Crisp, an elderly widow too afraid to drive alone at night, keeps a life-sized mannequin named Talbot strapped into her passenger seat. At the same time, Jenny Dressel, a quiet gas station clerk, struggles to suppress a growing urge to kill. When a group of teenagers steals Talbot in a prank that spirals out of control, something awakens. Soon, a string of brutal murders grips their small desert town, and all signs point back to the missing mannequin. As Beverly and Jenny join forces to track Talbot down, they uncover a dark, shared connection that neither of them fully understands and may not survive.
