But each cut brings not only waves of forbidden pleasure… it also erases pieces of her memory.Under Rowan’s care, Iris begins to change. The bloom roots deeper. The garden stirs at night, sending vines to test her. And Thalia—Rowan’s graceful, luminous “sister”—bears blossoms of her own, her cool warnings laced with dangerous longing.As the lines blur between desire and violation, healing and transformation, Iris must decide whether she came to the Red Garden to be cured… or to bloom.Perfect for fans of Mexican Gothic, The Haunting of Hill House, and darkly sensual tales of body horror, Bloom Rot is a gothic erotic horror where pleasure is the lure, transformation the price, and the garden always gets what it wants.
