Description

Enter into a wicked Eden of poisonous plants, radium kisses, and cosmic chaos. In this, her debut fiction collection, Bram Stoker Award-winning author Sara Tantlinger explores the poignant relationship between nature and horror, featuring four brand-new stories, including a Nathaniel Hawthorne-inspired novelette, "The Revenge of Rappaccini's Daughter." Just be sure to creep carefully through this garden. The flowers whisper, and the moon holds destructive secrets.

Critical Reviews

"A masterfully cultivated dark garden of tales. This collection sings of the beautiful brutality of nature, a eulogy for humankind's place on this earth, full of rage and resignation." -Sarah Read, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Atropine Tree

"Sara Tantlinger's Cyanide Constellations: And Other Stories expertly explores the beauty and brutality of nature, the search for love and meaning, the blight of humanity, and our insistence on scorching a path to our own destruction. Gorgeous but bleak, Sara's prose are a bittersweet and utterly captivating toxin." -Angela Sylvaine, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of The Dead Spot: Stories of Lost Girls

"Sentient clouds, murderous trees, and strange algae from the moon, Sara Tantlinger's Cyanide Constellations forces us to confront the monster within and shatters the illusion that we are untethered from the natural world." -Grace R. Reynolds, Elgin Award-nominated author of The Lies We Weave and Neon Moon
