Bone Chiller is a book written by Graham Mcnamee. This book was a horror filled science fiction.

You have no chance to defend yourself if you’re by yourself. The beast, however, doesn’t devour you right then. He likes to make his prey think that they have escaped. He plays mind games with his prey; the beast gets in their dreams, and makes them think that he is eating them alive, dissecting them, or stalking them through a

In Salvage the Bones, Jesmyn Ward parallels the mythological story of Medea in order to highlight her representation of women. The use of Medea, who is embodied in various aspects within the three main female characters, allows Ward’s work to obtain a sense of universality to her narrative. Also with this incorporation, Ward is able to change the dominant perspective of “blackness” that has plagued southern literature written by African-American authors. Salvage the Bones occurs in Bois Sauvage, Mississippi, following Esch,who has just found out she is pregnant, and her poor family just days before the catastrophic Hurricane Katrina. Medea, an anti-hero, who succumbs to her own decisions and the demons of love represents a dynamic femininity, rather than the stereotypical aspect of which is what being a female is.
