Bare Bones Anthology

This ghoulish collection of poetry and short stories is inspired by Halloween around the world. There are many celebrations world wide to honor the dead. Each putting their own spin on tradition. In the United States children dress in costumes and collect candy from neighbors. In Mexico they pay homage to deceased loved ones during Día de Los Muertos. In Ireland they celebrate Samhain. No matter how you celebrate, the day is charged with excitement and spooktacular fun. This anthology is full of accounts of tradition and how the human psyche processes life, death, and the spirit realm.

Featuring "Recipe for a Perfect Halloween Costume"
