A bit uneven, but some of these stories are very good. I really enjoyed Bag Man, Hero, Eusocial Networking, Passenger, and Chuckles Mulrooney, Attorney for the Damned. The others I could done without.
January 13, 2014
This is a review of each short story at a time:
1- Kissyman & The Last Song: *****
This is one of the few short story that's really short and really good. One of the things that makes this story so good is because it has the sense of greatness in its characters and of course the main character (not that there are many) is from the great novel Kissyman & The Gentleman.
2- Chuckles Mulrooney, Attorney for the Damned: *****
This is a dream of an author though I'm not sure if it's the best dream or a nightmare, why don't you find out?
3- You're A Damn Fool, Charlie Brown: ***--
this one was too long and it didn't make me interested to know more but maybe that's my opinion because I was inpatient when I was listening.
4- Eusocial Networking: ****-
This short baby is about some guys working in a,laboratory making experiments to control ants to use as workers ...then suddenly a crisis happen! read the story you won't regret it.
5- passenger: **---
It's part of crypt the novel but I don't know why I didn't like it much and I don't think I'm listening to crypt anytime soon specially if it's read by that stupid narrator. THIS NARRATOR IS TOO SLOW AND BORING!!!
6- Hero: ****-
This one was okay because it wasn't so long but it would have been boring if it was any longer.
7- Bag man: *****
Here where superman turns bad ... wait! what does bad mean?
this short story shows us how humans can see every sin others do but their own or the ones they do so when superman comes for them he's turning bad.
8- Hunter Hunterson & Sons: ****-
I never had it for those characters but this one was q bit better and it has facts from real life that makes you continue listen.
9- Hunter Hunterson & Sons: The $15 Burger ****-
This one is a little different I think that everyone who enjoys fantasy and have a sense of humour would like this one.

Sigler isn't a Stephen King by any means, but he occasionally hits the mark - Infected was the story that got me interested, and I've now become a minor fan. This short story collection has a few turns that are King-ish and interesting, but too often they go into sci-fi future land without any reward. Here's the best from this collection:
Passenger - futuristic, combat, so its hot and heavy and stays mostly good. The transition happens a little too fast - this is one of the few stories that could have actually been bigger, although it ends up paralleling Infected in big ways.
Chuckles Mulrooney - Wins the most King-ish award. Aside from some silly dialogue choices, it's mostly rewarding.
Bag Man - very King-ish, a tad weak but the morality angle adds some worth.
Eusocial networking - okay enough.
Hero - it again languishes in the sci-fi future without any benefit, but ended up being almost decent.
I would skip the rest if I had it to do over. Sigler has some great, dark imagination, and I'm a big fan of his content-to-the-masses approach.

Great collection of Sigler's short stories, some narrated by the author himself! Scott Sigler is one of the few authors that can pull off narration as well, and he does a fantastic job of it. The other narrators are great as well. All of the stories we're great but 3 of them I enjoyed more than the others. Kissyman & The Last Song was the first story and a great one. Thanks to the author's notes at the end, I've had a wonderful song stuck in my head since that I'd never heard before. The other two stories we're the last two. Hunter Hunterson & Son's are back for two more stories! Their first story are in Sigler's other collection of short stories, Blood is Red. It's about a crazy redneck family that hunts the supernatural. This book does contain language probably not suitable for a younger audience lol.

Kissyman and the last song: A great start for something I really enjoyed but didn’t expect at all. It seemed so absurd at some points that it didn’t even seem horrible or terrifying in a traditional way. This story reminded me of a nightmare that could very possibly happen in real life. I quickly found out where the horror elements come through the storytelling. Since this is the first of Sigler’s work that I had ever read, I couldn’t really catch onto the style that well besides horror. It’s different for me because I’m not used to horror books in general and this seemed like a curve ball.
Chuckles Mulrooney: Attorney for the Damned: The most definable part about this story was Chuckles Mulrooney as a character. He manages to be imaginable in a short amount of time and the story does it really effortlessly. He is a lawyer and he should his soul, but the way it’s portrayed is like he had spent a lot of money to get where he was at, except he sold his soul which is beyond priceless. Even though it’s a bit longer, it is definitely from the mind of Scott Sigler.
Passenger: This is the first story in the book where Sigler doesn’t hold back on his fascination with sci-fi. Deep into the future and advanced technology. Extremely detailed and conceptual. I feel like I could think about the true meaning for years if I wanted to. It kept my interest which just goes to show that he could describe anything in a easy to understand way.
Bag Man: We go back to the regular scheduled real life stories, similar to the first two. This one has very realistic elements and doesn’t seem to talk about many physical ideas, but definitely something interested.
Beam Up on Aisle Five: I liked this one as well, because it was a break from all the stories read so far. It does seem Sigler used this one as a basis to just let his thoughts flow onto the page. It doesn’t take place as a far in the future as the Passenger, but it does still show how much changes and things really seem to faster.
Eusocial Networking: The one thing that stuck out on this one for me was the fascination with ants. They were described by him as if he had been studying them his whole life and had a lot of experience with them. I could imagine Sigler pondering as a child on the concept of ants and just being over thoughtful on them. Although it isn’t that horrifying, it does seem to send a message on how Sigler can craft a narrative.
Hero: One of the more static plots of the bunch. Not bad, but I didn’t get as sunk in as I anticipated. This is essentially Sigler exercising his narrative skills in a sci-fi universe where anything is possible.
You’re a Damn Fool, Charlie Brown: This portion seemed to move a little bit slower compared to the first two. It wasn’t what I expected from the title. Although it did have its absurd moments, it definitely kept my attention as I continued to read on.
Hunter Hunterson & Sons: Home This became one of my favorites from the start. The best way I could describe it is Scott Sigler if he had to make Sci-Fi come to life and he had to deal with it. The absurdity is always playing off of the fantasy based elements to create the oddest contrast and that is what he does best.
Hunter Hunterson & Sons: The 15$ Burger: I’d say this is my favorite out of all of them. Even though it’s arguable that it isn’t the best, I genuinely enjoyed this side of his writing more. Hunter Hunterson is a reoccurring character that Sigler seems to reflect so well. The difference between this and the first story is that there is just so much that’s crude, but very personal and living a fantasy.
If you combine all of these stories, you get what is Bones Are White. I wanted this to be a sampler of Scott Sigler’s abilities and that’s exactly what I got. I read about a simple hitman who killed a woman, and then about people talking at a dinner table as if it was a comedy skit. The only difference is that Sigler could make some of these into full story novels if he wanted to. The characters are so well developed and even come off as actually psychotic at times. I almost felt like the stories were being narrated by The Crypt Keeper off of Tales from the Crypt because of all the silliness. Even though they aren’t long, they are without a doubt satisfying to read.
Chuckles Mulrooney: Attorney for the Damned: The most definable part about this story was Chuckles Mulrooney as a character.

January 22, 2020(not sure the stories are in order, but I think this is all of them)
The best thing about these tales are the author's notes. I love the look behind the curtain, and Scott is great at breaking down why he wrote a particular tale.
Kissyman & The Last Song - a GREAT addition to the Kissyman stories, if it is a bit short. I truly love the Kissyman tales. This one shows a softer side of our favorite hired gun, and may even be a little sad.
Chuckles Mulrooney, Attorney for the Damned - LOVE!! this tale had me laughing out loud, and yes, partly because Scott is sick, and thinks of weird things. This is fantastic, and I would love to hear more from Chuckles.
Beam Up on Aisle Five - ewww. An odd tale looking into the future. I don't have a strong like or dislike of this one.
Eusocial Networking - first learned of this tale at Siglerfest, when the cake was in honor of this little tale. It is an interesting look at our eusocial friends out there (ants in particular). Also a commentary on our future, and what we have done and continue to do to our home; Earth.
Passenger - this apparently ties in strongly with the Crypt tales (which I have tried listening to, and it was too heavy in the military/war/heavy science, and I just couldn't get into it. ) But it seems I just need to stick with it longer, because THIS story, started out military/war and I was thinking...eh...and then the shift happened. And it was still military/war, but now it is also science fiction/horror. I am on board to try The Crypt again!!!
Hero - this one is sad. I liked the story, and the social commentary needs to be said. when Scott did his talky talk after, I was reminded of the movie Logan -- what does happen when our heroes age?
Bag Man
A very entertaining tale. What happens when the vigilantes run out of "BAD" guys, and just has sort of not great guys...and then pretty decent people, and then...??
Hunter Hunterson & Sons: Home
I LOVE Hunter and his family. I admit the group is not always PC, but they are always entertaining. I look forward to more War Journals (which is exclusively Hunter stories)
Hunter Hunterson & Sons: The $15 Burger (manuscript)
I enjoyed hearing this done as a Siglerfest event. Everyone did a great job (except for maybe Scott who called it a $12.50 burger at some point)

This is the first of my Halloween-themed reads. I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed.
This book series claimed to have "strong violence and adult situations" but while there were some stories that were graphic (The Kissyman) most were pretty tame. That's not what disappointed me though I was expecting there to be more horror, I mean after all the book series is called Bones are White gives the idea that there is going to be some horror, though the science fiction- related stories were probably the best ones (Hero) over all there were some that I just couldn't stand the characters because they were flat out assholes, and don't get me wrong I like a flawed character like that but they have to have something more than just the fact that their assholes. I have to like (or love-hate) something about you, at least for me.
I really wanted to give this series a higher rating but most of the time the author narrated his stories and didn't, I think do that great of a job. As someone said in another review Sigler's first person narrations aren't his strong suit. Glad I checked it out though.

The collection of stories was an excellent feature, each story was entirely different than the other and they were all very enjoyable reads. Some of my personal heart-stopping favourites were Bag Man and Hero, they were such anxiety-inducing short stories and were incredibly well written. I'll definitely come back to this book whether it be five years from now or thirty, these stories are timeless and so delightful I guarantee I'll find myself back on my device reading these stories again and again.
August 19, 2020
Another great collection of short, creepy stories by Scott Sigler! Just as before, it's hard to pick a favourite, though I will always find the charm in Hunter Hunterson. Many of the stories either had a devious monster, dark themes, or creepy action. The final story, a Hunter Hunterson story performed live, was quite special and fun. A must have for all of Sigler's fans and readers of horror anthologies!
January 14, 2019
Real good could be 5 stars but the hunter hunterson stories are a bit much. Played loose like an episode of All in the Family. Ignorance played off as jokes for a bigger meaning. The author isn’t good enough to use the homophobia or racist stuff in a way that counters the intention. Archie was not the hero in the stories.
January 21, 2021
More good stories from Sigler. Sometimes horrifying, often laugh-out-loud funny and always interesting in one way or another. It was great meeting Hunter Hunterson again, and other highlights were Bagman, Eusocial Networking and Passenger.
July 25, 2019
Pretty entertaining collection of stories. I continue to be impressed by Sigler.
October 1, 2019
Some buddies and I have a fairly new tradition of spooky books in October. Sigler kicked things off right.
October 12, 2020
My two favorites were Chuckles Mulrooney and the twoHunter Hunterson & Sons stories. I wish SS would write a full book for Hunterson, that entire family was hilarious.
January 12, 2022
Love this collections of stories. I listen to them over and over. My favorites being Passenger, Bagman and Chuckles Mulrooney. Going through these stories makes you want to hear more.
August 30, 2019
This book was definitely excellent.

Full disclosure here: I knew I was going to pick up Bones Are White regardless of what stories were in it because I am a self admitted Scott Sigler junkie. What sealed the deal though was one of the stories created this year exclusively for inclusion in this collection, and that’s “Beam Up on Aisle Five,” created based on an episode of the “NSFW podcast.” When Scott came back on the show to read excerpts from the bizarre creation hosts Brian Brushwood and Justin Robert Young helped inspire him to write, I was sold. Hilarity and a rather awesome story follows.
“Beam Up on Aisle Five,” is alone enough to pick up this collection, but it’s not the only gem within. “Chuckles Mulrooney: Attorney for the Damned,” is a great deal with the devil story with one of the funniest twists I’ve seen on the style. “Passenger,” “Hero,” and “Eusocial Networking,” are great hard sci-fi stories, and except for “Hero,” the other stories along with “Bag Man” bring in a shot of delicious horror that aid to Scott’s backlog.
To finish up this great collection you get two pieces of fiction set in the side pocket Sigler-verse of Hunter Hunterson & Sons. These are a continuation of the Hunter Hunterson & Sons story originally started in Blood Is Red. The second piece in the set, “Hunter Hunterson & Sons: The $15 Burger” is a stage play originally preformed at the 2011 Sigler Fest, and an audio version of the performance can be heard over on Scott’s site.
I recommend the collection to someone new to Sigler and his works. It gives a great overview of his different styles, themes, and characters he creates. I’d also recommend the collection to anyone familiar with his work just because, well, another shot of Sigler keeps a junky happy.

It funny, but I thought I had read this back in the day, however my timeline said differently, so it was game on. Honestly, at least a couple of these I am certain I have heard in the podcast feed at some point, but regardless, I enjoyed reading and/or re-reading all the stories in the collection. In fact, I would say every story is top notch, and having guest narrators was a fine move. Loved the different voices, and all were superb in their specific stories. The only issue I had, and it is purely my opinion, is that when I read the original Hunter Hunterson story in Blood is Red, it was on Kindle, which means I supplied my own "voice" to the characters, which is somewhere between Dog the Bounty Hunter and Ted Nugent (yeah, I am from the south, but these guys still fit my idea for Hunter and Sons), so when I heard Scott's hillbilly interpretation, it threw me off. Granted, the characters were from Kentucky, but for some reason it just seemed too much to have them sound like Jethro and Jed. No complaint, as the story was funny as hell, as I expected. Overall, loved the book, recommend the hell out of it, and wonder why the hell I haven't read it before now! Let's add one more hell for the fun of it :-) Damn, I picked up some Hunterson myself...!

Bones are White is another amazing short story collection and follow-up to Blood is Red, a great little taste of Sigler's short story work. I'm happy to say that Bones are White is more accurately telling of how great of an author Sigler really is. These stories are more in the vein of Sigler's unique blend of dark comedy, science fiction and horror. This collection is thought-provoking, memorable and leaves a lasting impression; well worth the price of admission. Sigler doesn't disappoint. Although I don't follow the author's work as religiously as other Junkies do, most of Sigler's work is available on his personal website. If you're like me and missed some of these stories the first time around, you will not be disappointed as they are some of his best work. Do yourself a favor and buy it.
July 30, 2012
A follow-up to his first collection of short stories, Blood is Red, this is another great collection of stories from a favorite author of mine. These stories show his trademark sense of humor, imaginative situations and a great sense of character. The plots and situations in all of his books are riveting, but it's his characters I always remember the best.
I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves short fiction, sci-fi/horror mixed with a generous dose of humor, and great characters.

I've never read anything by Scott Sigler that I didn't enjoy. This collection of short stories has hard science, horror, supernatural, humor galore, and more. "Chuckles Mulrooney, Attorney for the Damned" and "Hunter Hunterson & Sons: Home" alone are worth the price of admission.
As a sample of Scott Sigler's style, you can't go wrong with either "Bones Are White" or "Blood Is Red." I'd be surprised if a taste of his short fiction doesn't make you want to read his full-length works.

This is another collection of short stories by horror and hard science-fiction author Scott Sigler. The stories are interesting and there is a lot of variety in these from the decidedly disturbing "Bagman" to the more humorous "Hunter Hunterson & Sons: Home." If you've heard of Sigler and want a taste of what his style is like, you can do no wrong by picking up a copy of Bones are White. Trust me, you'll be hooked.

Published on my Birthday, thank you FDO!!
Have REALLY enjoyed these short stories from the Siglerverse especially Kissyman, The Passenger (hoo-rah! love the Crypt series) and Hunter Hunterson (my daughter liked the 'prisoner 24601' Les Mis reference)

Another great collection of short fiction by Scott Sigler. This collection is a great taste of exactly what Scott Sigler writes. If you like these stories you will love the rest of his work. A great introduction to his work. Find anything by him and read it.

A solid, entertaining group of short stories. Sigler has such an entertaining and engaging voice that he carried me right through his collection. Loved Meth-cow, the Huntersons, Hero and so much more. There is a reason the dude has a legion of fans.

Scott Sigler's "Bones Are White" collection of stories is more thriller than horror. The stories are competent but not necessarily unique. Still they are diverting even if not great.
The audio recordings are very good.

A great collection of short stories. Only one thing you need to know: "Chuckles Mulrooney: Attorney for the Damned." Great story.
