    Whether it is to collect a life owed at the end of its days, or to plant an obsessive seed that will lead to a later harvest, Death pays a visit to us all in due course. This collection of thirteen stories and poems joins Death in all his glory as he makes his rounds. From Fingers of Bone explores the hauntingly beautiful, and the hideously ugly aspects of endings.

    The Accidental Legacy of Great Aunt Ellen, Larry Saves the World, Under this New Sky, Pink Fuzzy Bunnies, The Room between the Seconds, Joey Lester vs. the Devil, Naked as the Day I was Born, Jasper, Witchery, Sands of the Desert, Why the Baby Cries, An Ice Cube’s Chance, The Last Good Things.
