The Deadlands - Issue 38 - Paperback

by E. Catherine Tobler (Editor in Chief)

Keep your bones close. Set them in neat lines. The whale bone is connected to the plane bone. The women will not go quietly. The defiant bone is connected to the no bone. The state of things dissolves. A man is remembered by his mountains, not his bones. The lost bone is connected to the memory forest. Are you the rock or are you Sisyphus? The shrimp bone is connected to the bell bone. Make a run-for every border that ensnares you.
