An art print from artist @greyscalefish Graphic with a closer look at the exclusive sticker and character art for THE BONE BRIDES that you'll receive if you preorder by 9/28 from Linden Tree Books. A holographic sticker of a rabbit who is also a skeleton and a gorgeous swirling scene of a dark faery dance. "To save her changeling girlfriend, she must enter the faery realm..." Cover of THE BONE BRIDES, by Marley Rose-Teter. The cover’s main color palate is glowy blues and aquas and features two girls holding hands while standing face-forward. One girl has a missing eye and a place her torso reveals instead a ribcage. The other girl has a hand that has become skeletal. In a satchel the second girl wears sits a skeleton-rabbit. Behind the girls looms a large skeleton-deer, with one antler replaced by vines. Very moody and atmospheric.

"Lumi glides her hands along Nola's waist, and Nola wishes the touch would illuminate her the way it does bone. She wants to be a firefly who rises and falls in the darkness. Held by Lumi, she wants to swell into an aurora borealis." --THE BONE BRIDES

"What are GoodReads reviewers saying about THE BONE BRIDES...?" Graphic includes two illustrated girls holding hands while standing face-forward. One girl has a missing eye and a place her torso reveals instead a ribcage. The other girl has a hand that has become skeletal. “The Bone Brides was so weird and sad and kind of adorable?? [...] Also, I would die for the skeleton rabbit.” Graphic is of a skeleton rabbit. “There’s a quiet, folkloric ache at the heart of Bone Brides — the kind of sapphic, myth touched storytelling that feels both tender and haunting.” Graphic is of a human hand holding a skeletal one. “The world building is exquisitely spooky and whimsical. [..] But what got me by the neck is how much I felt for the characters.” Graphic is of a bunny.
