Overview

Step into the shadowy realm where nature turns predatory and the plant kingdom asserts its dominion over flesh, mind, and soul!
Green Hunger is a harrowing anthology of classic weird fiction, collecting 15 vintage stories from literary masters such as Ambrose Bierce, H.G. Wells, and more.
Unearthed from the golden age of pulp magazines and early 20th-century horror, these tales of botanical terror explore the uncanny link between nature and nightmare. From haunted greenhouses and jungle valleys to the desolate moors and genteel parlors of Gothic dread, this carnivorous plant anthology is rooted in eerie atmosphere and unrelenting suspense.
Perfect for fans of vintage horror, dark fantasy, and eco-gothic fiction, this curated collection of short stories and poetry reintroduces long-forgotten blooms of horror with lush prose and disturbing imagination.
The flesh-eating flora tales span several decades and include contributions from both American and European authors. The tone of the stories ranges from gothic and psychological to outright grotesque and sensational.

Read with caution—some plants are best left untouched!
