This isn't your grandmother's garden guide; it's a moonlit romp through a world of botanical oddities that will haunt your dreams and inspire your own truly twisted green space.

Step into the shadows of the botanical world and discover its most bizarre, beautiful, and grotesque inhabitants. Rotten Botany invites you on a chillingly delightful journey with unique plant enthusiast Varla A. Ventura, who unearths the hidden wonders and unsettling secrets of the plant kingdom.

Beyond the eerie aesthetics, Rotten Botany delves into each plant's scientific and common names, origins, ethnobotanical and folkloric uses, and fascinating lore. You'll also find practical details like growth habits, zones, and cultivation tips, allowing you to cultivate your own collection of "rottanicals."

Prepare to encounter real plants that seem ripped from the pages of a horror novel: The Lovely Lilies of Death; Things That Creep; Rotten Ornamentals; The Carnivores; The Deception of Orchids; and The Poison Path.

You'll come away with a deeper understanding of nature's sinister side—and a newfound appreciation for the dark wonders quietly thriving all around us.
