Chisel the Bone

This Special Edition of Chisel the Bone includes the novella The Bone Cutters. The Bone Cutters: They wear their scars with pride, while Dory tries desperately to hide her own. No matter what she does to cover her wounds, they can still smell her bleed, and they want in-down to the bones. Dory wakes up in the padded room of a psychiatric hospital with no recollection of how she wound up there. She soon finds out she's been Blue-Papered-involuntarily committed. She gets sent to the wrong counseling group and discovers a whole new world of psychiatric patients she'd never known existed. At first, she just thinks they're cutters, all marked by similar scars, but then she finds out those scars are from carving into their own bodies to satisfy their bone-crazy addiction. When they find out Dory's never tapped into her bones, she becomes their target. Frightened for her life, she desperately tries to prove to the psych. hospital staff she's not delusional about these patients wanting to cut her open and get to her bones. The staff doesn't believe her. They all think she's crazy. She ends up on the run and fighting for her life, trying to avoid getting "dusted" by The Bone Cutters. Chisel the Bone: Dory, a mental patient out on safety release, finds herself as the single witness who can bring down a horrifying cult of drug addicts from her past as well as their supernatural puppeteer. Dory's unwavering need for justice against the Bone Cutters who tormented her and assaulted her in the psych hospital leaves her blind to the dangers lurking outside her door. After realizing someone is stalking her, Dory's vision for justice turns red and morphs into an intense desire for revenge, sending her down a path of uncanny supernatural discoveries. Now, Dory finds herself, again, on the run from the cult who wants to chisel her bones into dust to satiate their addictions and keep her from bringing their secrets to light. Will Dory's relentless drive for justice and revenge bring her the satisfaction she craves, or will she end up bled out by the Bone Cutter cult? Or maybe, just maybe, she'll make that irrevocable slice that sends her to the realm of no return. Renee S. DeCamillis expands the world of her critically acclaimed novella, The Bone Cutters, into a fully realized nightmare of survival.
