Beschreibung

A selection of horror stories that show the darkest side of the plant world. An anthology that brings together names like Roald Dahl, Eudora Welty and H.P. Lovecraft. Bloodthirsty orchids, entire forests that rebel against those who massacred them, mushrooms as beautiful as they are poisonous, majestic oaks that become the reincarnation of the man of the house, wonderful vines that revive terrifying ghosts from the past, rudimentary machines that record the terrible suffering of mistreated plants, solitary trees that mark the very threshold of a nightmarish world... A sinister greenness runs through the literature of the 19th and 20th centuries and reminds us that plants, fascinating and mysterious beings, beneficial and lethal at the same time, embody otherness in the form of a silent monster, while suffering the effects of greed that leads human beings to ruthlessly usurp and destroy those forms of life that, reduced to raw material, can generate wealth. Botanical Gothic is a catalogue of stories from the most fantastical plant world, which includes such outstanding authors as M.R. James, Richmal Crompton, H. P. Lovecraft or Roald Dahl, and which also allows us to discover the disturbing creations of pulp writers such as Mary Elizabeth Counselman, Maria Moravsky or Eli Colter. From now on, green will be the new black.
