Unmistakably Tepper

"The Bones" is the sequel to Tepper's earlier horror story, "Blood Heritage". It is very similar to the earlier volume, and while not as biting or ascerbic (although rather more gory) as Tepper's more mainstream eco-feminist output, it is every bit as well-written, and certainly very gripping! While this book dates from fairly early in her output (1987), Tepper brings her considerable imagination and inventiveness to bear in her own inimitable way and manages (as usual) to put her particular spin on a subject that one feels ought to be hackneyed by now but which somehow, in Tepper's hands, proves not to be at all! This is a horror story for people who do not normally read horror stories, and all established Tepper fans should try to hunt a copy down!
