Description
A Botanical Daughter by Noah Medlock is a witty horror debut that combines the dark atmosphere of Mexican Gothic with the eerie fascination of The Lie Tree. In this captivating tale, two Victorian gentlemen, Simon and Gregor, live in a botanical garden, where they pursue their passions without interference. Simon works on his taxidermy art in the dark basement workshop, while Gregor cultivates exotic plants, including a strange fungus that inspires him to attempt a Frankenstein-style experiment. As Gregor's experiment flourishes, it entangles their household and raises questions about who is cultivating whom. The mycelium grows apace in the sultry greenhouse, but the cost of keeping it hidden from jealous eyes begins to take its toll on Gregor. This extraordinary tale of family, fungus, and revenge is told with wit and warmth, revealing an exciting new voice in queer horror. With its unique blend of horror, wit, and warmth, A Botanical Daughter is a compelling read for fans of the genre.
