Synopsis:
Welcome to Test Town.
Population: Zero
When Savannah and her friends decide on a sightseeing pit stop at a long-abandoned nuclear testing facility, something feels off from the outset.
Dilapidated houses. Quiet, dusty streets. And mannequins.
So many mannequins.
With a growing sense of unease, the group soon learns that even in an abandoned town in the middle of nowhere, you're never truly alone.

A group of teenagers decide to make a quick stop on their road trip to visit an abandoned desert town used for nuclear testing. The desolate town became infamous for the bizarre mannequins that are posed all around the town. Test Town is a short burst of terror that utilizes the uncanny creepiness of mannequins well. It is an enjoyable short story that is over just as it’s getting started, and I would have loved for this story to be a little longer.

About Leigh Kenny
Leigh was born and raised in the beautiful garden county of Wicklow, Ireland. She is the mother and proud protector of two wonderful boys, a black Labrador, and a three-legged cat that hates people. Her partner James is also part of the family, but she’s not his mother, so he gets his own sentence!
Leigh has a fierce love for all things morbid and macabre, and like many of her peers, she’s a horror junkie! She cites Ronald Malfi, Kealan Patrick Burke, and of course, Stephen King, as her most favoured authors and sources inspiration.
Cursed is Leigh’s debut, and though she hides it well, she is very proud of herself.
