OUT NOW  – I BELIEVE IN MISTER BONES

Max Booth III’s latest novel, I Believe in Mister Bones, is officially available in both digital and paperback through Apocalypse Party Press. With a cover design by Trevor Henderson and interior illustrations by Betty Rocksteady, this novel is guaranteed to spook any readers gutsy enough to give it a chance.

The email’s subject line reads DO YOU BELIEVE IN MISTER BONES?

The recipient: Daniel Addams, one half of the Texas small press known as Fiendish Books, co-run with his wife Eileen.

Despite being closed for submissions, curiosity gets the best of him and he takes a look at the anonymous author’s bizarre manuscript—only to find himself obsessed with the titular Mister Bones, a mysterious entity rumored to steal your bones as you sleep, one by one, until he’s replaced your entire skeleton with an unknown substance.

But is Mister Bones real, and has Daniel unintentionally summoned him?

Or, as Eileen suspects, has he finally cracked from stress and lost his mind?

From the writer of WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING and ABNORMAL STATISTICS comes Max Booth III’s I BELIEVE IN MISTER BONES, a harrowing exploration of indie horror publishing, internet curses, and the universal terror of the human skeleton.
