Vivarium (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798233884085)

"The rarest specimens require the ultimate price."

Arthur is a man consumed by his collection. In his cramped, humid apartment, he nurtures a garden of botanical predators. But his newest acquisition-a nameless, prehistoric entity recovered from a deep jungle sinkhole-is different. It doesn't just wait for flies. It hungers for more.

As the plant fills his home with a sweet, mind-altering pollen, Arthur finds himself falling under its primal spell. He becomes the fierce protector of a monster that is slowly turning his living space into a giant digestive tract. When the outside world threatens his prize, Arthur learns the terrifying truth: in this garden, you are either the gardener or the fertilizer.

A suffocating, biological nightmare. Silas Crag's Vivarium is a visceral exploration of obsession and the terrifying speed of an unnatural evolution. Once it takes root, there is no escape.
