John M Skipp recommends

Night of the Mannequins (2020)
Stephen Graham Jones
"Sly, surprising psychic sleight-of-hand, in a tale of teenage madness where the next plastic face might be your own."

Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke And Other Misfortunes (2022)
Eric LaRocca
"A hauntingly elegant, masterfully written, and ultimately devastating indictment of cruel manipulation and even crueler submission. This is one deeply fucked-up heartbreaker. You have been warned."
