Description
The second installment in the Color Collection of short stories by #1 New York Times best-selling novelist Scott Sigler, author of the Infected Trilogy, the Earthcore Duology, Nocturnal, and Ancestor.
Stories in BONES ARE WHITE:
Passenger (a Siglerverse story): Fighting on foreign worlds invites many ways to die, but some are far worse than others. To lose control is to lose one's self.
Bag Man: Some sins fade away, and others never die. When you champion a murderous vigilante, you'd better hope he runs out of steam before he finds the things you thought you'd buried in the past.
Chuckles Mulrooney, Attorney for the Damned: "That lawyer is a clown" has never rang more true. A deal with the devil isn't set in stone, as long as you have good representation.
Hero (a Siglerverse story): We've all seen the young hero battle against the galactic empire. Leon Timmerman fit that role. They called him "unkillable." But what happens when Leon gets old and the leftovers of his enemy come a-calling?
Eusocial Networking: Do you want ants? Because this is how you genetically engineer ants to solve the energy crisis.- Beam Up on Aisle Five:
Kissyman & The Last Song: When you kill for money, you kill those you're paid to kill. Sometimes, though, pulling that trigger and be murder in itself.
Hunter Hunterson & Sons: Home: The red-state, monster-stompin' Huntersons take up their new digs in the bluest of blue cities, San Francisco.
Hunter Hunterson & Sons—the $15 Burger: Recorded live in front of Scott's diehard fans, the "Junkies," this rollicking tale of monstery goodness goes good with an expensive-ass burger.

Our first episode features the first new Kissyman audio story in over three years. It’s a short-but-sweet tale of Kissyman’s tender side. Sometimes a hard man is good to find — when that hard man finds you, not so much.

We’re doing something new this episode, and that is using voice talent other than Scott to bring you your story. This is a story many of you have heard before, but re-written to prepare it for the BONES ARE WHITE collection. The voice talent is Alec Volz, a very cool cat with a very cool voice. He’s also a fan who loves NOCTURNAL, so he clearly has skill and great taste.

We bring you a tale from THE CRYPT era of the Siglerverse, and a big Junkies favorite — particularly the rather grisly end of the story. We re-wrote the story to bring it into line with THE CRYPT timeline and political structure. I had some great consulting on this one from Junkies who served in the US Military, for which I am grateful.

And now the conclusion of our military-sf novella, "Passenger."
Marcus Crowley was shot through the heart (and you’re to blame, amiright?) and thought he was a goner, but awakens to find himself not only alive, but on the move — and he’s not the one controlling his own motions.

This week’s tale comes from the GFL era of the Siglerverse, but a deeper, darker, more dangerous corner. If the victors write the history books, this is a story about what happens when history’s losers learn their own off-book version of things.
Just two more stories in BONES ARE WHITE after this week's one-parter. Enjoy!

This is one of Scott’s favorite stories.
“Bag Man” examines the concept of “judge not, lest ye yourself be judged” from the perspective of the media vultures that celebrate and profit from death and misery. When that camera turns the other way — and the “camera” is a supernatural killer — the news isn’t quite as much fun.
