Marriage and death, remorse and reclamation- whether exploring space wreckage, debating an unholy parenthood, or admiring a field of flowers, loss prods at the science fiction and fantasy found in Baubles From Bones: Issue 2. In this issue, you'll find stories of a young writer's escape into science fiction, a frustrated priestess protecting her church from its own clergy, and a maze full of riches that demands a deadly, traumatic toll. There is a future where organic, human flesh is worth a fortune and a pier where the cries of an unholy child soften weathered hearts. Death reminisces while his daughter dances with her new wife. A rooster-footed demon deals in remorse. Flowers bloom against the haunting memories of war. Alongside all of these stories are poems about fungal parenthood, a sea monster's sacrifice, the rage and grief of losing a child, growing up while torn in two, and the fear that lurks in the shadows. Our talented assortment of aspiring and established writers offer their speculative works about pain, growth, and understanding in an issue of Baubles From Bones that'll pull you through to the brighter side of grief.
