The Motion of Puppets by Keith Donohue

A young couple in Quebec find themselves caught in a web of magic and horror. Kay is an acrobat and goes missing on her way home from the show one night. Her husband cannot believe that she has disappeared into thin air and searches the city in vain all the while not even guessing that she has been spirited away by a puppet master in the darkened toy shop that fascinated her during their walks. Kay begins life anew as a puppet and soon begins to befriend the other puppets at night when they come to life. As hard as it is to fathom, her husband soon begins to believe that Kay is being held as a puppet and sets off to rescue her. Will the evil that has charmed Kay be stronger than her husband's love? Keith Donohue writes a frightening account reminiscent of Grimm's fairy tales and the magic will keep you up reading til dawn. Great Halloween reading!
