Choosing the relentless flames of a funeral pyre as both inspiration and all-purpose metaphor, fantasy artist Ryan Wardlow brings the cover of “The Bone Forge” to life, leaving a lasting impression for anyone who encounters a copy.
The author, Max Ingram, has brought together a collection of his most potent and powerful works, delving bare-fisted into the dark recesses of not only his own soul, but also that of his readers.
Death, and the very flames which often carry our bodies from one world into the next, are a fundamental and primal reality; one which we are far too often afraid to investigate. This collection rifles through the memories, regrets and recriminations of a life spent in the pursuit of deeper meaning. What does death mean to us, and how do we define ourselves in the manner by which we face it? The Bone Forge seeks to explore those very questions.
