Hearts & Bones

Hearts & Bones is a collection of two short stories by 2019 HWA Mary Shelley Scholarship recipient, Theresa Derwin. Of ‘Doris’ Theresa recently said: “Well, I decided to write my own interpretation of the Harlan Ellison story ‘A Boy and his Dog’ but with a woman instead.” And ‘Fruit Of The Womb’, a Christmas story gone wrong – inspired by A Partridge in a Pear Tree. As Theresa herself says: “I love Christmas horror. And it’s a bit of a folk horror involving the idea of fertility.” (Cover by Adrian Baldwin) (Short Sharp Shocks! Book 38.)
