Free Excerpt From The Book (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader) Karin Tanner, having killed her husband Danny in self-defense, now visits his grave every day, leaving flowers from her garden.She has inherited from her grandmother the ability to prolong the lives of plants, indeed to restore dead plants to life. As she caresses the flowers above Danny's grave, she unknowingly brings him gradually back to life as well. When he at last claws his way to freedom, it's payback time with a vengeance. Karin's only hope is to overcome her role as a victim and use her powers, in reverse, to sap the life from the monster she has unleashed upon the world. This Bram Stoker award finalist pushed the envelope of explicit sex and violence, all in the service of narrative and character delineation, far beyond the high watermark established by the splatterpunk movement. In addition, reviewers and readers alike praised it for getting the dynamics of abusive relationships exactly right.
