An ailing community traverses a chasm of nightmare animal amalgams to reach the lush paradise beyond. Lovers in a plant apocalypse fight for survival and search for meaning in the face of immeasurable loss. Reunited friends resurrect an extinct bird through grisly sacrifices that bring about unexpected consequences. The Writhing, Verdant End collects weird ecological horror stories by Corey Farrenkopf (author of Living in Cemeteries and Haunted Ecologies), Tiffany Morris (Green Fuse Burning), and Eric Raglin (Extinction Hymns), exploring the awe, terror, and strangeness of the natural world in dire times.
