Skeleton Song
Ratings19
Average rating3.9
Children have always disappeared under the right conditions—slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of a wardrobe, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells, and emerging somewhere . . . else. Adventures are always interesting, but they’re not always happy.
From the worlds of Wayward Children comes a story of love, of devotion, of bones wrapped in flesh.

It showed the story of how Christopher got to the Home in a nice short and sweet way. I loved that the skeletons were once human but forgot after too many generations. Although I do feel the short stories often lack some of the flourishes that the novellas have. As if written by a different all-knowing narrator than the main series.
Another short gap in the story filled, in hind sight I wish I had read the novellas in the right places, rather than at the end.
Loved this, but, too short, even for a short story imo. It does kinda feel like a disservice to Christopher to have his backstory so short, so I am hoping this is just a tease or a prelude to a longer novel for him. Not much else to say as it was only 20 pages or so. Well written of course, and some nice imagery. Hope we get some more.
