review 1: 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. I'm happy to say that Bones are White is more accurately telling of how great of an author Sigler really is. These stories are more in the vein of Sigler's unique blend of dark comedy, science fiction and horror. This collection is thought-provoking, memorable and leaves a lasting impression; well worth the price of admission. Sigler doesn't disappoint. Although I don't follow the author's work as religiously as other Junkies do, most of Sigler's work is available on his personal website. If you're like me and missed some of these stories the first time around, you will not be disappointed as they are some of his best work. Do yourself... more a favor and buy it.
review 2: Full disclosure here: I knew I was going to pick up Bones Are White regardless of what stories were in it because I am a self admitted Scott Sigler junkie. 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.” When Scott came back on the show to read excerpts from the bizarre creation hosts Brian Brushwood and Justin Robert Young helped inspire him to write, I was sold. Hilarity and a rather awesome story follows.“Beam Up on Aisle Five,” is alone enough to pick up this collection, but it’s not the only gem within. “Chuckles Mulrooney: Attorney for the Damned,” is a great deal with the devil story with one of the funniest twists I’ve seen on the style. “Passenger,” “Hero,” and “Eusocial Networking,” are great hard sci-fi stories, and except for “Hero,” the other stories along with “Bag Man” bring in a shot of delicious horror that aid to Scott’s backlog.To finish up this great collection you get two pieces of fiction set in the side pocket Sigler-verse of Hunter Hunterson & Sons. These are a continuation of the Hunter Hunterson & Sons story originally started in Blood Is Red. The second piece in the set, “Hunter Hunterson & Sons: The $15 Burger” is a stage play originally preformed at the 2011 Sigler Fest, and an audio version of the performance can be heard over on Scott’s site.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 junky happy. less
