Ossuaries is a cross-genre category for books that gather, examine, and reassemble what remains—literally and figuratively. It encompasses fiction, nonfiction, and poetry centered on bones, burial sites, catacombs, and funerary rituals; forensic and archaeological investigations; elegy, mourning, and cultural memory; and narratives that work with fragments, archives, and remnants to reconstruct lost lives or histories. Tone can range from macabre to meditative, scholarly to lyrical, but the unifying thread is an intimate engagement with mortality and the material traces of the past. Whether exploring the science of remains, the art and ethics of remembrance, or the metaphoric “bone-structure” of a shattered story, Ossuaries invites readers to confront how we honor, interpret, and live alongside the dead.
