Puppet Skin eBook Danger Slater

Fantastic. Wonderful. Poignant. This book is a coming-of-age story sifted through the filter of bizarro fiction, and it's a lovely read. Equally parts philosophical and narrative, Puppet Skin delivers a fast-paced adventure steeped in big thoughts. What is our nature? Why are we here? What is the meaning of life, or what does it mean to be God? How does creation help us understand ourselves and our place in the universe? Danger Slater offers no concrete answers, but he does provide all the questions for us, and neatly arranges them on skewers at the end of strings leading up into the sky. A perfect book to get into bizarro fiction, and especially for dreamers, misfits and people who wonder what it all means and why we are the ones blessed to have to figure it out for ourselves.

Puppet Skin eBook Danger Slater Reviews

If you like Inception style, nesting doll plot concepts, bugs, parasites, or other things that live inside you, or stories that take a hard look at growing up, self discovery, teenage outcast feelings of alienation, and conformity, then you should read Puppet Skin. It's ideas are fresh and engaging, the take on growing up and becoming an "adult" is truly bizarre in the most accurate way, and Danger Slater's writing style is pretty funky fresh while still being easily approachable. It's a great story. Go read it.
I love this book. It's a very overt symbolic story about growing up and conformity. But it's highly imaginative, nearly impossible to predict where it's going, and beautifully-written at times. Don't let the "Bizarro" fiction genre scare you off, this is just great literature. Not everything by Danger is of this quality, but from what I've read this is one of his strongest and finest works. Also impressive that a male author wrote about a female protagonist so skillfully. Highly recommended.
Very interesting story about transformation and the act of creation. The primary storyline follows a very gnostic narrative as Hannah awakens to the strangeness beneath the surface of her already weird world, where children are made into wooden marionette-like puppets the day they graduate school. It continues, in its final act, in examining, through a bizarro lens, the thoughts and motivations of demiurges, and the interplay between creator and creation. Very imaginative and ultimately far more meaningful than I thought a book about puppet-people would be, impressive.
Tightly told story about a living teenage girl in a society of grownup puppets who is about to undergo the ritual of becoming a puppet. Hannah is more rebellious, you gather, than most teenagers in this frightening and sad conformist world.

Puppets are not relied on as the basis for creating an overall creepy vibe, but rather they are treated as real entities with real cycles of usefulness or function and the story is driven by the very real fear from a teenager's point of view that in the end everyone becomes one because... that is how the system works. The system, however, turns out to be even weirder and more sinister than I, at least, expected.

To top it all off the narrative voice is powerful and rhythmic in a way that moves the story without getting enamored with the devices of expanded metaphor (which could become confusing in an alt reality like this) and repetition. This story is haunting, colorful, strange, and for all its atmospheric ugliness, full of beauty.
Although I must admit to liking I Will Rot Without You SLIGHTLY more, Puppet Skin is definitely a winner. It’s an imaginative visceral trip down memory lane…hopefully. I say hopefully because this book reeks of the pains and joys (although much lesser so on that front) of adolescence. Do you remember that moment when you felt the need to grow up impinging upon you like the pincers of an insect—an insect who might also happen to have the head of one of your parents? If you answered no to this question, do not read on. I repeat DO NOT read on!

So it happened to you too then, eh? Welcome to the Secret Society of the Puppet People. We read this book every day before leaving our homes, but, let’s be honest here, THAT NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPENS. We slurp puppetfeed and generally keep an eye on a particular gentleman puking up sawdust. He hangs out at THAT park. Yup, you guessed it we live in the bad part of town.

All kidding aside, this is a fun and imaginative book that I managed, like with I Will Rot Without You, to read in a single sitting. It’s absorbing, fast-paced, quick-witted, and playful; its narrative has enough hairpin turns to keep even the most jaded bizarro enthusiast thoroughly entertained.

I’ll just be waiting here in my bonnet munching grapes hoping Danger Slater can churn another one out real soon. Oh and be forewarned DO NOT EAT THE PUPPETFEED!
This is a great story. It's coming of age, but with Danger Slater weirdness injected throughout. Enough so it could be a David Lynch short on par with The Grandmother.

The allegory continues to flow with PUPPET SKIN, just as clever as with I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU. The difference between the two is the caliber of writing. PUPPET SKIN, while short over all (novella length) demands to be read slowly and with deliberacy. Each line is well thought out and feeds into the story, building an atmosphere as dark as Hannah needs to fully develop into her fears. The plot is original and does a fantastic job of balancing between fairy tale and weird tale, though it does keep just enough of the chaotic crazy to fit perfectly beneath the Bizarro umbrella.

I really was expecting the traditional wild and crazy Bizarro with this title, perhaps a little messy given the author's record of carnage, but PUPPET SKIN proved to be a new turn for Danger Slater, one I hope we see more of. A fine read and haunting tale that is sure to stick with you well after the last page and final curtain call.
