Publisher Description
In this entry from the thrilling short story anthology FaceOff, bestselling authors Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child along with R.L. Stine team up for the first time ever, pitting FBI agent Aloysius Pendergast against the most unusual villain he’s ever faced—Stine’s classic creation: Slappy the Ventriloquist Dummy.
First introduced in R.L. Stine’s 400 million-copy bestselling Goosebumps series, Slappy is a dummy carved from coffin wood who boasts enormous strength and a sarcastic, sadistic personality. In contrast, Agent Pendergast is an elegant, intelligent man who never lets himself be ruffled by the particulars of an investigation. Yet when these two meet for the first time—at Stony Mountain Sanatorium—Pendergast is quite clearly out of his element, and nothing is as it seems…

Customer Reviews
So Disappointed!!
I'm a big fan of Pendergast and as a child, a big fan of Goosebumps. When they announced Pendergast and Slappy would face off, I was so excited! This short story was the biggest let down!! It had nothing to do with the Slappy character and mentioned the dummy twice! It's just a quick side adventure that cuts off right when it might get interesting. Very disappointed!!! I demand a rewrite!!
