The Bones

By: Bridget Clerkin

Narrated by: Hillary Huber

This story was originally published in Day One, a weekly literary journal dedicated to short fiction and poetry from emerging writers.

She will never forget that summer - when the bones began to surface. The decomposing skull of a dog, then that of a cat. Later, birds. Her parents even made a game of digging them up while the children played and kept the tiny trophies on display in their home. And then her cousin was implicated in a grisly murder. Did that strange find really mark the creation of a monster in their midst? From the acclaimed author of Monster comes this chilling story of a long-buried childhood memory and a family bent on denial.
