What people are saying about Bare Bone #6:

"Bare Bone #6 continues its incredible legacy as one of the best Horror anthologies around with the 6th edition featuring 18 new stories and 11 poems. Sometimes visceral and sometimes subtle, Bare Bone always has something for the horror fan no matter how you like it served."
—Tim Janson

"The orgasmic quality of pacing, the allure of the large cast of characters, and the vivid atmosphere created in these selections are more powerful than sex and much more satisfying. Gathering a congregation of both new and old writers, Donihe deals out perfection. While each author varies in style as well voice, the impact of their words is felt, and the effect is transcendental."

"Kudos goes to Donihe for his ability to spot talent and gather them together into one crowd-pleasing ensemble. Bells and whistles for another top-notch endeavor by Raw Dog Screaming Press, a force to be reckoned with. What's your excuse for not holding a copy of Bare Bone #6 in YOUR sweaty hands?"
