I suppose it might be hard to write a ventriloquist story and not sound cliche? The idea is compelling, but it would be difficult to write a compelling ventriloquist dummy character deosn't feel like it has already been used, which means that there aren't many different paths the idea could go down, and would make many stories sound cliché. I can think of options, like puppets that look like people's wprst fears, or a ventriloquist dummy that looks like the controller of the puppet, with the doll controlling them to hide in society, or something, so maybe there is some missed potential here.
