As usual Stephen Graham Jones does not disappoint. I enjoyed this book and was confused with Sawyer's thought process. I kept thinking to myself "something is missing" and "the math ain't mathing." As I continued to read, I was greeted with an eerie plot twist (in a true Stephen's fashion).
I loved how technical this short novel was. I felt that although it was a short read it was impactful. The descriptions of the Mannequin and things that the Mannequin can and can not do was important to me to envision.

I only wish I had more Mannequin scenes but once I got to the end it all makes sense.
