From the intergalactic, to the apocalyptic, and to the ballroom, Baubles From Bones: Issue 1 presents a collection of stories and poetry across the speculative spectrum. Here you'll find a rebellion sparked by a beloved sorcerer's death, an alien's musical loneliness, perseverance in asteroid mining, and love torn across spacetime. We have queer love and a politicking priest, a teenage girl coming out to a slime demon, and the shimmering tail of a skyfish illuminating distant love. Alongside these stories, where beasts dine on delicious trash, we also have a climate-crisis-inspired retelling of Johnny Appleseed, as well as a tale about homelessness and running from the fuzz with Jesus Christ. Featuring some of the best and most talented up and coming science fiction and fantasy writers, Baubles From Bones: Issue 1 is a showcase of self-discovery in uncertain times. Authors: Katherine Traylor, R.K. Duncan, Jay Caselberg, Kayla Whittle, Anna Clark, Duane L Herrmann, Camden Rose, L.S. Kunz, Hardy Coleman, Sarena Ulibarri Editors: Shane Gallaher, Elyse Leskovic, and Joel Troutman Independently published in Pittsburgh, PA.
