The Wooden Wink: He’s Pulling Your Strings Now!

ARE YOU READY TO BE UNSTRUNG? Deep within the ink-splattered pages of The Tomb of Thrilling Terrors lies a story so chilling it'll turn your blood to varnish! Step into the spotlight with "The Wooden Wink: He's Pulling Your Strings Now!" This isn't your grandfather's puppet show. This is a visceral descent into the world of Artie Penhaligon—a man who wanted fame so badly he forgot that every puppet has a puppeteer! Arthur "Artie" Penhaligon was a man with a dying act and a heart full of envy until he stepped into a shop that didn't exist yesterday. There, he found Barnaby—a masterpiece of "Hyper-Reactive Taxidermy" stitched from the cured, supple skin of a man who died screaming a high C. But this wasn't a prop; it was a parasite. As Artie's fame skyrockets on the vaudeville circuit, his own body begins to betray him. His skin is yellowing into parchment, his joints are creaking like ungreased hinges, and his voice is fading into a hollow, wooden rattle. Feel the splinters under your skin as you witness the rise of Barnaby, the dummy that doesn't need strings because he's busy growing his own! Watch in breathless horror as the lines between man and mahogany blur in a crescendo of mechanical madness! It's campy, it's grisly, and it's dripping with the kind of mid-century irony that leaves a bitter, delicious taste in your mouth! Will you survive the final standing ovation? Or will you end up folded into a velvet-lined trunk, waiting for the next show to begin? Don't miss this masterpiece of the macabre by the sultan of the shudder, K.R. Icarus! Grab your copy today... before the trunk locks from the inside! Can you feel the cold, wooden fingers tightening around your heart yet?
