Baubles From Bones: Issue 8: Issue 8

Leviathans, reanimation, and poisoned tech - feel the ache of unhealed wounds and grow to appreciate a scar's memory in this issue of Baubles From Bones.

In ten new stories: a cursed forest brings back the dead, generational trauma ignites fields, and a robot does their best to brew coffee. One family gets paralyzed by social media while another learns how to befriend a witch. From the deep, a sea monster fights for his identity, and in the mountains, a dragon conducts search and rescue. A young warrior struggles with peace. An old revolutionary loses touch. In three new poems: the spirit translates to perfect math, bones can support a sense of humor, and ghosts whisper on cracking frost.

Featuring a mix of established and emerging writers, Baubles From Bones: Issue 8 offers a variety of eclectic, queer, and far-reaching perspectives with the stories and poetry to match.

Featuring original work by: Mathew Lebowitz, Gideon P. Smith, Celia Winter, Katherine Garrison, L.D. Blevins, Eshana Ranasinghe, Gretchen Tessmer, L. M. Conrad, Jackson Eflin, Alexis Veenendaal, Kieran McCaffrey, Lora Gray, and Dan La Noue
