This is a review of each short story at a time: Jan 05, Michael Tidd rated it it was ok. Sigler isn't a Stephen King by any means, but he occasionally hits the mark - Infected was the story that got me interested, and I've now become a minor fan. This short story collection has a few turns that are King-ish and interesting, but too often they go into sci-fi future land without any reward.
Here's the best from this collection: Passenger - futuristic, combat, so its hot and heavy and stays mostly good. The transition happens a little too fast - this is one of the few stories that could Sigler isn't a Stephen King by any means, but he occasionally hits the mark - Infected was the story that got me interested, and I've now become a minor fan.
The transition happens a little too fast - this is one of the few stories that could have actually been bigger, although it ends up paralleling Infected in big ways. Chuckles Mulrooney - Wins the most King-ish award. Aside from some silly dialogue choices, it's mostly rewarding. Bag Man - very King-ish, a tad weak but the morality angle adds some worth. Eusocial networking - okay enough. Hero - it again languishes in the sci-fi future without any benefit, but ended up being almost decent. I would skip the rest if I had it to do over.
Sigler has some great, dark imagination, and I'm a big fan of his content-to-the-masses approach. May 17, Reeda Booke rated it it was amazing Shelves: Just as good as his 1st anthology. Favorite stories in this one include: Jul 23, Majahid rated it really liked it.

Very good collection of short stories. Feb 05, Robert Aguilar rated it it was amazing Shelves: Kissyman and the last song: This story reminded me of a nightmare that could very possibly happen in real life. I quickly found out where the horror elements come through the storytelling. Attorney for the Damned: The most definable part about this story was Chuckles Mulrooney as a character. He manages to be imaginable in a short amount of time and the story does it really effortlessly. Deep into the future and advanced technology. Extremely detailed and conceptual. I feel like I could think about the true meaning for years if I wanted to.
It kept my interest which just goes to show that he could describe anything in a easy to understand way. We go back to the regular scheduled real life stories, similar to the first two. Beam Up on Aisle Five: I liked this one as well, because it was a break from all the stories read so far. It does seem Sigler used this one as a basis to just let his thoughts flow onto the page.
The one thing that stuck out on this one for me was the fascination with ants. They were described by him as if he had been studying them his whole life and had a lot of experience with them.
Bones Are White by Scott Sigler
I could imagine Sigler pondering as a child on the concept of ants and just being over thoughtful on them. One of the more static plots of the bunch. This is essentially Sigler exercising his narrative skills in a sci-fi universe where anything is possible. This portion seemed to move a little bit slower compared to the first two.

Although it did have its absurd moments, it definitely kept my attention as I continued to read on. Home This became one of my favorites from the start. The best way I could describe it is Scott Sigler if he had to make Sci-Fi come to life and he had to deal with it. The absurdity is always playing off of the fantasy based elements to create the oddest contrast and that is what he does best.
Hunter Hunterson is a reoccurring character that Sigler seems to reflect so well.

If you combine all of these stories, you get what is Bones Are White. I read about a simple hitman who killed a woman, and then about people talking at a dinner table as if it was a comedy skit. The only difference is that Sigler could make some of these into full story novels if he wanted to. The characters are so well developed and even come off as actually psychotic at times. I almost felt like the stories were being narrated by The Crypt Keeper off of Tales from the Crypt because of all the silliness.
Oct 16, Casey rated it it was ok Shelves: This is the first of my Halloween-themed reads. I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed. This book series claimed to have "strong violence and adult situations" but while there were some stories that were graphic The Kissyman most were pretty tame. That's not what disappointed me though I was expecting there to be more horror, I mean after all the book series is called Bones are White gives the idea that there is going to be some horror, though the science fiction- related stories were probably This is the first of my Halloween-themed reads.
That's not what disappointed me though I was expecting there to be more horror, I mean after all the book series is called Bones are White gives the idea that there is going to be some horror, though the science fiction- related stories were probably the best ones Hero over all there were some that I just couldn't stand the characters because they were flat out assholes, and don't get me wrong I like a flawed character like that but they have to have something more than just the fact that their assholes. I have to like or love-hate something about you, at least for me.
I really wanted to give this series a higher rating but most of the time the author narrated his stories and didn't, I think do that great of a job. As someone said in another review Sigler's first person narrations aren't his strong suit. Glad I checked it out though. Great collection of Sigler's short stories, some narrated by the author himself! Scott Sigler is one of the few authors that can pull off narration as well, and he does a fantastic job of it. The other narrators are great as well. All of the stories we're great but 3 of them I enjoyed more than the others.
Thanks to the author's notes at the end, I've had a wonderful song stuck in my head since that I'd never heard before. The oth Great collection of Sigler's short stories, some narrated by the author himself!
Bones Are White
The other two stories we're the last two. Their first story are in Sigler's other collection of short stories, Blood is Red. It's about a crazy redneck family that hunts the supernatural. This book does contain language probably not suitable for a younger audience lol. Feb 05, Marisol rated it really liked it.
The collection of stories was an excellent feature, each story was entirely different than the other and they were all very enjoyable reads. Some of my personal heart-stopping favourites were Bag Man and Hero, they were such anxiety-inducing short stories and were incredibly well written. I'll definitely come back to this book whether it be five years from now or thirty, these stories are timeless and so delightful I guarantee I'll find myself back on my device reading these stories again and ag The collection of stories was an excellent feature, each story was entirely different than the other and they were all very enjoyable reads.

May 24, Justin Diehl rated it it was amazing Shelves: Hilarity and a rather awesome story follows.
I recommend the collection to someone new to Sigler and his works.
It gives a great overview of his different styles, themes, and characters he creates. It funny, but I thought I had read this back in the day, however my timeline said differently, so it was game on. In fact, I would say every story is top notch, and having guest narrators was a fine move. Loved the different voices, and all were superb in their specific stories. The only issue I had, and it is pur It funny, but I thought I had read this back in the day, however my timeline said differently, so it was game on.
The only issue I had, and it is purely my opinion, is that when I read the original Hunter Hunterson story in Blood is Red, it was on Kindle, which means I supplied my own "voice" to the characters, which is somewhere between Dog the Bounty Hunter and Ted Nugent yeah, I am from the south, but these guys still fit my idea for Hunter and Sons , so when I heard Scott's hillbilly interpretation, it threw me off. Granted, the characters were from Kentucky, but for some reason it just seemed too much to have them sound like Jethro and Jed.
No complaint, as the story was funny as hell, as I expected.
Overall, loved the book, recommend the hell out of it, and wonder why the hell I haven't read it before now! Let's add one more hell for the fun of it: Jul 11, Matthew rated it really liked it Shelves: Bones are White is another amazing short story collection and follow-up to Blood is Red, a great little taste of Sigler's short story work.

What sealed the deal though was one of the stories created this year exclusively for inclusion in this collection, and that's "Beam Up on Aisle Five," created based on an episode of the "NSFW podcast.

Attorney for the Damned," is a great deal with the devil story with one of the funniest twists I've seen on the style. I recommend the collection to someone new to Sigler and his works. It gives a great overview of his different styles, themes, and characters he creates. I'd also recommend the collection to anyone familiar with his work just because, well, another shot of Sigler keeps a junkie happy. One person found this helpful. I found this book on iTunes podcast and then bought the kindle version for class project in creative writing.
It's an awesome horror short stories book and a great read as well as the podcast. I love Scott Sigler writings. However if you don't like gore or horror don't read this. It's not for the light stomach or the easily offended. I relate to Scott's stories as I am also from Michigan and his stories bring back memories for me from the Alpena area. I sometimes have trouble "getting into" a new book after completion of another.
However, not Scott Sigler's books!
The characters come to life with his no-nonsense, down to earth writing style. They are genuine and likable people--but I think the best part about Sigler's stories is that they seem to "get to the good part" almost immediately. Character building can be tedious and slow the pace of what would've been an otherwise great read. Not with Sigler's books though I fall into the latter of the group. I can't WAIT until his next book comes out I highly recommend Scott Sigler's books if you are searching for a new author As with previous Sigler I've read, the reading is light and the stories are enjoyable.
I highly recommend and have suggest this book to several friends. Give him a try. Good pacing, unique stories and overall good writer. The reading is light whereas Crichton would be a "medium" read and the stories are interesting and unique. Love his short stories, and I've enjoyed sharing them with my teenage kids too as appropriate! I've never read anything by Scott Sigler that I didn't enjoy. This collection of short stories has hard science, horror, supernatural, humor galore, and more. Home" alone are worth the price of admission. Keep up the good work Scott Sigler.
Really liked this collection of stories especially the continuation of the best supernatch ticket puller in the biz. Beware the hippie on the beach cruiser See all 20 reviews.
