Exposed Bone publishes uncanny fiction, poetry, and occasional other works that wreck our expectations, keep us on edge, and fuck with our thoughts. The project is headed by Scum Hellebore and Shauri Cherie, two dumbasses who sold their souls to the literary journal demons in college.
They met while studying creative writing at Southern Utah University and spent two years working together on Kolob Canyon Review, the university's literary magazine. Scum was editor-in-chief of the project for the 2021-2022 edition, while Shauri took over the role for the 2022-2023 issue. Unwilling to leave the literary journal world after separating from the project, the two of them put their love of literature to use and created Exposed Bone.
