Paper and Bones

"What a shame. Somehow we became godless and unafraid of a sky where there are no stars left to tell our stories."

Paper and Bones is an anthology of poems and tales surrounding magic, romance, and the gothic written and illustrated by Tumblr writer and fantasy aficionado Naiche Lizzette Parker. A collection of both her old and new work, the poems weave the heartbreak of love and loss with the thrumming song of enchantment.

The anthology is ribbon-tied by a short story. In "Paper and Bones," a girl finds a boy's journal on an airplane home from Paris and begins a relationship struck by intense love, loss, and plain madness over the course of ten years when they are continuously forced apart.
