Human Doll Mark McLaughlin

Beautiful cast members and special guests from two TV shows are being killed in bizarre ways. One show is a medical reality show and the other is a talent competition for drag queens. The performers are appalled by the deaths of their friends, and some wonder if they should quit working with the shows. Even if they did, would they still be marked for death? Male model December Storm frequently appears as a special guest on both shows. The media calls December a 'human doll' because he regularly receives procedures to enhance his looks. December's life partner, Dr. Gabe Martin, who is also his plastic surgeon, is the host of the medical reality show. December knows that he needs to beware, since he might be the next beautiful person to die. To learn the identity of the killer, he calls upon the assistance of his best friend, an exotic, avant-garde artist with an incredible grasp of futuristic technology.... Bram Stoker Award-winning author Mark McLaughlin is the author of the novels, HUMAN DOLL and THE HELL NEXT DOOR, and the story collections, THE WEIRD WORLD OF MARK McLAUGHLIN MEGAPACK(R), EMPRESS OF THE LIVING DEAD, BEST LITTLE WITCH-HOUSE IN ARKHAM, and HIDEOUS FACES, BEAUTIFUL SKULLS. Also, Mark has written many Lovecraftian tales, both solo and in collaboration with his best friend, Michael Sheehan, Jr.
