About the Book

Leprosy. Melded bones. Even "hornism" (the phenomenon of having a horn growing out of the human body). All are on display in Boy of Bone, dramatized and illustrated in jaw-dropping and perhaps most surprisingly, life-affirming fashion. With a remarkable new voice, K. R. Sands' storytelling combines the thrill of the best horror stories with the depth of classic literature. Jon Lezinsky's masterly, multitextured illustrations provide a compelling visual and emotional dimension. The result is a chilling, atmospheric work that pushes the reader's imagination to new limits.

About the Author :
Boy of Bone marks the fiction debut of K. R. SANDS who lives in Philadelphia. The work of JON LEZINSKY has been featured in The Washington Post and in books from Time Life and Random House. He lives in Connecticut.

Review :
Kathleen Sands has breathed life into the dry bones and the medical curiosities of the Mutter Museum and brought an extraordinary new dimension to the Museum and The College. - Frederick S. Kaplan, M.D., Director, Center for Research in Fibrosdysplasia Ossificans Progressiva & Related Disorders, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania [the world's foremost expert on the "Boy of Bone" disease, fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva]. "Kathleen Sands has breathed life into the dry bones and the medical curiosities of the Mutter Museum and brought an extraordinary new dimension to the Museum and The College." - Frederick S. Kaplan, M.D., Director, Center for Research in Fibrosdysplasia Ossificans Progressiva & Related Disorders, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania [the world's foremost expert on the "Boy of Bone" disease, fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva]. "K. R. Sands's Boy of Bone, with illustrations by Jon Lezinsky, is a cabinet of curiosities, its fictional stories inspired by the people whose various body parts have been donated to the Mutter Museum of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia. . . .What could be a cheap, creepy trick transcends into moving (if also creepy) stories." --Elissa Schappell, Vanity Fair
