Bones Beneath the Skin

On this ancient land, nothing is thicker than a layer of human skin. It can hide absurd desires and cover up old sins, but it cannot hold back the consequences rising from the earth.

This book is a collection of mid-length folk-horror stories about taboos, the price we pay, and fate. The tales travel through deserted villages, ancient towns, dry wells, and remote mountains, stripping away the facade of peaceful lives to expose the tangled, monstrous truths beneath.

Here you’ll find resentment trapped in the past, an obsession with immortality stitched into flesh, and family secrets buried in ancestral rules. Each story is a rusty scalpel, cutting precisely through the layer of human skin called “respectability” and forcing readers to face the bones beneath: long decayed, yet still pulsing in the darkness.

You think you’re looking at your neighbors, but they’re actually servants wearing human skin. You think you’re guarding a family heirloom, but it’s a weapon that feeds on souls. In the world of Bones Beneath the Skin, rules aren’t there to be followed. They’re there to keep you alive.

Before opening this book, make sure: are the people around you still wearing the same familiar skin?
