Before she was assistant editor here Rebecca Summerling submitted a story called "Bone Crush" about falling in love with a skeleton amidst the apocalyptic death throes of a crumbling, decaying city.

That story is still sick af and even though it's a few years old now, a good story remains timeless.

Beautiful cover!!
