BONES ARE WHITE Episode 12: "Hero"

We wheeled and dealed and got permission to share the first 35 minutes of Beasts Beyond the River, Scott’s intense new horror novel, read by none other than Ray Porter (narrator of PROJECT HAIL MARY, EARTHCORE, MOUNT FITZROY, THE BOBBIVERSE, JOE LEDGER, and more). SYNOPSIS: Amidst the brutality of the French and Indian War, an officer in the legendary Rogers’ Rangers is thrust into a nightmare that will challenge both his leadership and his lifelong quest to leave his father’s heritage behind. Lieutenant Geoffrey Rapelje is tasked with guiding a ranger detachment to his birthplace to preserve a fragile treaty between the British and his father’s people. What Geoffrey finds is not the idyllic village of his youth, but a land—and a tribe—ravaged by a vicious, unknown force. He and his rangers embark on a harrowing journey across a North American wilderness beset by violence, betrayal, and inexplicable terrors. To defeat a genocidal enemy, Geoffrey must embrace a dark truth he has long denied. — Slices is created by Scott Sigler and A B Kovacs — Produced by Steve Riekeberg — Production Assistance by Allie Press — Copyright 2026 by Empty Set Entertainment  Even the frontier has a boundary… they just crossed it.  That’s the tagline for the novel, but you can cross the boundary of high prices for a new domain registration by using the GoDaddy Promo Coded CJCFOSSIG3.

This is one of Scott’s favorite stories. “Bag Man” examines the concept of “judge not, lest ye yourself be judged” from the perspective of the media vultures that celebrate and profit from death and misery. When that camera turns the other way — and the “camera” is a supernatural killer — the news isn’t quite as much fun. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week’s tale comes from the GFL era of the Siglerverse, but a deeper, darker, more dangerous corner. If the victors write the history books, this is a story about what happens when history’s losers learn their own off-book version of things. Just two more stories in BONES ARE WHITE after this week's one-parter. Enjoy!

And now the conclusion of our military-sf novella, "Passenger." Marcus Crowley was shot through the heart (and you’re to blame, amiright?) and thought he was a goner, but awakens to find himself not only alive, but on the move — and he’s not the one controlling his own motions.

Our CRYPT-era tale continues with Part 2 of the novella “Passenger." Our recon team crash-landed on Vee-Seven just before SAM fire tore into their troop carrier. Duck is dead. Chesque and Nguyen are MIA. Jennings has lost a leg and is screaming for help. Sgt. Marcus Crowley tries to keep the survivors together. Can Cheryl and Psycho stay alive long enough to help him complete the mission?

We bring you a tale from THE CRYPT era of the Siglerverse, and a big Junkies favorite — particularly the rather grisly end of the story. We re-wrote the story to bring it into line with THE CRYPT timeline and political structure. I had some great consulting on this one from Junkies who served in the US Military, for which I am grateful.
