You can’t kill what’s already dead.
Listen…do you hear the squeaking swing? Bloody Bones is on the porch, and he’s coming to get you.
Thirty years ago, the stranger came to the sleepy southern town of Farnsworth and the killings began. Wearing a black suit and passing himself off as a traveling preacher, the Dark Man targeted children. But when he took the daughter of the local hoodoo woman, she exacted a terrible revenge.
Listen…do you hear the creaking door? Bloody Bones is in the house, and he’s coming to get you.
Bound to a ploughshare at the bottom of a quicksand hole and unable to die, the Dark Man raged as his body rotted to bones.
Three decades later, a murder and a gruesome burial resurrects the stranger. Now, two boys, a witch, and a deputy will attempt to keep the Dark Man from sating his monstrous appetite.
Listen! Do you hear the blood dripping on your bed? Bloody Bones is here, and he’s…
GOTCHA!

PRAISE FOR BLOODY BONES
“Garrett Boatman’s Bloody Bones transported me back to those scary twilight tales told by my folks when I was a small child. This rendition of the Bones, however, was considerably more frightening and emotionally charged than the fables that kept me away from the cellar door when I was five. Boatman’s storytelling skills breathes new life into the sanguine boogeyman, providing an excellent excuse to huddle beneath the covers at night and listen for the sound of skeletal footsteps upon the floorboards next to your bed.”
—Ronald Kelly, Author of Fear and Undertaker’s Moon
“Garrett Boatman’s Bloody Bones is the scariest, darkest, most entertaining story he has written yet. The best horror book of the year (maybe the next five years) is here!”
