Skulls & Bones: A Novella

At the edge of the world, an ocean away, a sailor named Martel has retired to land. He clings to his most valued possession—a series of letters written to his granddaughter, whom he lost contact with long ago. Telling of their ancestral past, his life at sea, and the choices upon which their lives have been built, Martels letters illuminate the power of stories passed down through generations—stories that changed over time, and that ruptured their family narrative, tearing them all apart.A multimedia project conceived by acclaimed artist and musician Jay Malinowski, Skulls & Bones combines original artwork and a haunting narrative into a fascinating and telling portrait of a sailor atoning for his past, uncovering truth, and finding hope in the future.
