Baubles From Bones

Identity, belonging, and community-through magical experiments and journeys across the cosmos, Baubles From Bones Issue 4 explores the comforts and struggles of finding home and how it feels to lose it.Through seven new pieces of speculative fiction, a vengeful beastmaster challenges the gods and loss sends a grieving soul across the galaxy. Spite and regret make one witch grow his spellcasting abilities while heartbreak sends another on a fateful climb. Rampant AI haunts the shadows of space. Precious life grows and embarks from a tree's roots. The best bet for surviving a cataclysmic eruption is to keep a steady pace. In three new sci-fi and fantasy poems, passion flares the hearth of life, a mask protects against the thorns of connection, and love is as undying as it is undead.Featuring a mix of established and emerging writers, Baubles From Bones: Issue 4 offers a variety of eclectic, queer, and far-reaching perspectives with the stories and poetry to match.Featuring original work by: James Van Pelt, Huijia Li, A.R.
