Bare Bone is a small-press horror magazine that ran for multiple issues starting in 2003. Edited by Kevin L. Donihe, the series provided a venue for dark fiction from both established and emerging horror writers. Paul Finch was a recurring contributor across several issues.

The magazine published original short stories with a focus on visceral, uncompromising horror. Each issue operated as a standalone anthology, and the series ran through the mid-2000s before a final issue appeared in 2009. For readers interested in small-press horror from that era, Bare Bone represents the kind of independent publication that kept the genre alive outside mainstream publishing.
