The Collection

To the grave we all march. Beyond which, who can say?

Bonemeal is a collection of over twenty stories, poems, and original illustrations — a private cabinet of horrors stitched together from body horror, monster tales, classic ghost stories, and the slow, atmospheric dread of cosmic terror.

Hold your cross, watch the shadows and beware the living dark.

An excerpt

…best of all, you'll squirm and writhe in sulphurous agony with me for eternity. For eternity, Anthony. You'll fail and die futilely in the barren wasteland. You'll suffer alone and come to me eventually. I'll dine on portions of your shrieking face forever.

— from Bonemeal
Inside the book

Six glimpses, behind glass.

A handful of illustrations from Bonemeal's pages — pencil, ink, oil, and the things that watched the artist work.

A skull on the forest floor
A scrawled figure with hollow eyes
A procession of figures with torches in the dark
A child's head with spider legs
A pill bottle filled with strange contents
Headlights on a long forest road

What's in the dark.

Body Horror

An itch that never goes away. Bodies turned to meat.

Monsters

A beast prowling the lonesome highways. Reflections of rot.

Ghost Stories

Fear, damnation and the cries of agonized souls.

Atmospheric

Demons beneath the earth. Sailing beneath the watchful dark.

Cosmic

Forbidden portals and visitors of the immortal dark.

The Author

Michael Hernandez

Michael Hernandez is a collector of shadows, a messenger of dread, and a weaver of whispers in the dark. When he’s not writing tales of terror, his visions of horror haunt his sketchbook. Bonemeal is his first collection built from seven years of visions.

“I prefer facing hell on earth to suffering the Hell beyond.”
