Out Today! The Bone Cutters by Renee S DeCamillis
Renee S. DeCamillis' novella The Bone Cutters is re-released today!
We have the honor to re-release Renee S. DeCamillis’ novella The Bone Cutters as a prelude to our release of her follow-up Chisel The Bone, out this summer.
The Bone Cutters is a wonderfully written and tense story that has collected favorable reviews since it’s first publication.
This psychological thriller/bizarro mashup really worked for me. It keeps you on your toes guessing how unreliable the narrator really might or might not be up until the very end. I had a great time with it and Renee S. DeCamillis is definitely on my radar now. 4 stars - Stephanie Manning (Goodreads Review)
Renee S. DeCamillis' strength as an author sits squarely on her ability to create and maintain well-rounded characters. Even incidental characters appear real and fitting to the environment she has created. The hospital feels equally descriptively stable, and even though the story unfolds in a slightly surreal manner it never 'jumps the shark' in its portrayal of such a place. - Al Preece (Neverwhere Book Reviews)
Synopsis:
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 that those scars are from carving into their bodies where they chisel and scrape their bones. They harvest bone dust. This dust is highly coveted and sought after, as well as highly addictive. When they realize she’s never been “dusted”, Dory becomes their target. After all, dust from a “freshie” is much more valuable than theirs.
Frightened for her life, she desperately tries to prove to the psych. hospital staff that she’s not delusional about these particular patients wanting to slice her open and scrape her bones. The staff doesn’t believe her. They all think she’s crazy. Dory ends up on the run, fighting for her life, trying to avoid getting “dusted” by The Bone Cutters.
Like Girl, Interrupted and The Yellow Wallpaper, The Bone Cutters is one woman’s dark and surreal experience with a madness that is not necessarily her own.
