Though his novel's premise, a young girl whose adolescent awakening involves eating people, is not for the faint of heart, and the opening scene involving the babysitter's eardrum is frankly stomach-churning, "Bones And All" is ultimately a strange yet melancholy tale. It helps to think of the eating of people part as more akin to something from a work of magical realism, or a fairy tale cartoon. Readers of Kelly Link's stories might enjoy DeAngelis's work as it is decidedly quirky. Though my copy is cataloged as Mystery, "Bones And All" borrows from the Horror genre without being beholden to it.
