The Alienated Puppeteer

In early-1990s Ireland, young Jeremy Bolton suffers from paranoia and a profound sense of not belonging.

After losing his mother, Jeremy clings to the only companion he trusts—Peter Duck, his glove puppet—while trying to navigate a world that feels hostile. Stumbling through school, he questions his own perceptions and wrestles with impulses he cannot fully control.

After being admitted to a psychiatric hospital, Jeremy meets fellow patients whose stories echo and challenge his own, forcing him to confront the beliefs that have shaped him. Their unexpected influence sparks the first fragile possibility that he might reclaim agency over the chaos that has long defined him.

John P. Warren's THE ALIENATED PUPPETEER is an intense, tragic and darkly humorous coming-of-age tale.
