"Twisting and turning
reality until it resembles nothing more than
frayed nerves and mental disintegration, Kevin
L. Donihe has assembled a collection that
is both majestic and hideous. Out of each
author's mouth falls the bones of secrets
that when exposed leave you feeling you dirty,
horrified and oddly enough, sedated. Exquisite!
Gone is the dance of pseudo-cerebral verbal
garbage, this list of writers assault the
mind with an audacity a girl can admire.
"The diversity of plots is truly the
highlight of this book. Without inhibition,
this selection of tales incorporates everything
from the surreal to the frighteningly mundane.
Each author’s style of writing shows
genteel craftsmanship with a concise execution
and a pace that not only complements the story,
it enhances the tale. The atmosphere in the
book produces an almost palpable dementia..."

What people are saying
about Bare Bone #5:
"Bare Bone is fantastic
short horror story anthology published bi-annually
by Raw Dog Screaming Press. Volume five
collects 19 short stories along with 14
poems by a host of talented writers. The
eclectic collection hits on numerous horror
themes including psychological, supernatural,
and brutal reality. This is a guttural,
grasping collection that takes hold of the
reader on the first story and doesn't let
go until long after the book is closed."

"My rating? Hands-down,
this book is a five-carat diamond in the
rough! Forget the “Should I buy it,
is it worth the money” – this
book is a must have for any horror reader!
What are you doing still reading –
Go Buy it New, Now!!!"
