Baubles From Bones: Issue 6, (Paperback)

Scapegoats, old age, and alien gossip - through sharp-toothed friendships and blighted colonization, contemplate which common threads tie our societies together, leave us bound, and knot us into something new in this issue of Baubles From Bones.

In seven new speculative stories: aliens share info across orbits, blood-thirsty revolution drives an exodus, and a shaky alliance crops up out of necessity. In a land bloodied by millennia of war, a girl trains to fight a lone dragon, and a could-be couple discuss immortality over a candlelit dinner. Bounty hunters stalk a synthetic human for the crime of living. Colonizers learn that fungal networks run deeper than human borders. Through four new pieces of poetry: an AI civilization searches for harmony in ancient churches, science and art both long for the unknown, friends are found deep beneath the rock, and ecological collapse beaches beasts colossal and mysterious.
