Imagine a world where scientists produced our own demise in a lab, set spores free to infect, even bred ferns to be our friends only to witness the privilege perverted. When faced with botanical terror, will humanity fight to survive, or will they curl and wither like leaves in the fall?Read ten speculative tales ripe with dangerous flora to find out.Includes stories by:Alyssa BeattyKatie EssJon MierischJosephine QueenLisa FoxKatie JordanMelissa MendelsonAndrea GoyanAlex GrehyR.A.
