Dummy
Contains extreme gore and violence. Jason hadn’t seen his grandpa in years. And when he inherits a large estate, the Dummy is something he can’t get rid of. It’s a loud, wild ride with hilarious, terrifying twists and turns. You won’t want to put it down. Dark humor and bad taste! An entertaining and enjoyable guilty pleasure. A complete escape.

Creepy Dummy Alert!!
This was such an entertaining ride involving a murderous dummy with a foul mouth 🤣 Jason inherits a house and trust when his grandfather dies. Jason donates the dummy to ‘Goodwill’, but after failing to destroy the family who purchase it, the dummy finds its way back to Jason, and Gladys the housekeeper, who has a strange kind of relationship with the dummy. This book was creepy but had some hilarious moments with the dummy shouting out all kinds of obscenities. I absolutely despise dummys, and hated ‘Chucky’ when it was released, which caused me endless sleepless nights. I will definitely be reading more in the ‘Creeperslandia’ series by Penny Moonz, and thoroughly recommend this entertaining book, despite the lack of editing, which was most annoying!!

I loved this book. It was an amazing horror ride. It's like if Chucky was a ventriloquist doll instead of a normal doll. Best part was the ending. Could not be more perfect. If you do not like animal abuse you will not like this book. That part was a little sad for me. But the rest was great. Really love it. Please do read. It needs more hype.

Nothing wrong with a foul-mouthed creepy puppet! The book certainly wasn't bad and I got a couple of good chuckles from it but there were a lot of things that needed explaining that never were touched on.

Thank You Penny Moonz
Lovers of Creepy Dolls especially ones like Chucky will love this Funny yet very creepy. The Novella reads like a creepypasta story or a Tales From the Creep. Close your eyes and imagine how the Crypt Keeper would introduce and exit this tale boils and ghouls.
Jason inherits a Mansion , a Trust, and a old fashioned puppet that has a missing front tooth and a wears a bow tie with suspenders. How extremely lucky is Jason? Let's read to find out more.
Penny Moonz does a fabulous job with blending both comedy and suspense horror. There are a few minor editing issues, however the story is unique and a very fun read. I Recommend this book to lovers of comedy horror.
John William's voice helps to bring the characters to life.

I loved this book! It was funny, creepy and the characters were interesting. I would definitely read more by this author. I would particularly like to see a sequel to this book and learn more about the origins of Todd. I received a free copy of the audiobook from the author and am choosing to write this review. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys comedy based horror.

This was closer to 3/5 to me but I'm giving it a generous 4 because I enjoyed the *potential* of this story.
This is much stronger than the author's previous story, The Virus, allowing itself a longer book to breathe in.
The setting is solid; distant grandson inherits a home, and a creepy dummy is along for the ride.
Pretty standard affair, the dummy is, of course, alive, and gets up to some murderous mischief.
What sets this apart for me is the titular dummy, who is foul mouthed, obscene and utterly murderous. This is hilarious to me because we're never given a reason. Think Cartman with a knife; the little creep never gives up and he's great. As a further bonus he has the ability to possess anyone with their hand in his back, which I thought was a great addition to your usual haunted dummy trope.
The plot is fine, nothing to write home about. Things happen, it's decent, the ending was a little bit of a downer. No complaints here, as long as I don't pick apart the loose threads Moonz never chased up on.
What dropped this in my estimation was the use of weapons close to the end. It's consistently shown that the dummy has the amount of strength you'd expect him to. He's plastic and cloth afterall. Yet near the end he reloads a crossbow, a weapon that typically takes a ton of pressure, with hardly a mention.
Further to this a character uses a musket, and he fires this multiple times, despite them being single shot. It hardly ruins the book but if you're going to put weaponry in, try to understand how they work.
Overall I enjoyed this! It could've been more but for what it was it was a fun, lowbrow murderous romp.

Definitely reminds me of RL Steins Night of the Living Dummy. Quite a bit of vulgar language and sometimes the wording didn't quite go together but I do believe that helps with the story. Good story overall, but not really my cup of tea.

Potencial desaprovechado. Lo del gore y violencia extrema que figura en la sinopsis es mentira.

I'm not sure what I expected with this one, but honestly, it was terrible. The whole book was littered with sentences cut off halfway through, characters called the wrong name, childish writing, and it just had me dying inside a little everytime I read another page. I was so close to marking it as DNF but I just wanted to know if the creepy dummy gets it at the end.
The story itself was actually not too bad, despite the bad writing. In the right hands, it could have been a brilliant story.
I had the rest of the series downloaded on my kindle ready to read in November, but after reading this one, I automatically went and deleted them as I have no interest in continuing.
