Along the South Platte River, on the western slope of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, sits the cabin Anne Marie has just inherited, abandoned but for the ghosts still haunting the place. Now, with her mother’s passing, Anne Marie is confronted by those ghosts as they visit her in dream, memory, and hallucination. The Bone Creatures is a fever dream filled with sex, folk horror, and the desire to reconcile one’s past.
