"Dense, atmospheric, and creepy."—Publishers Weekly
"A feal garden of uncanny pleasures."—Megan Milks
Nine children travel with their families to their Grandfather's vacation property, where strange things begin to happen: eyes blink from the bottom up, mushrooms ooze blood, people's faces don't hang right anymore—except they do, once you look more closely. Transformations warp the children's sense of time and place, the very land itself seeming to encroach upon them.
Set in the Grandfather's Lake House as he continues to extend his property lines and told in the eerie we of the children, Root Rot explores predatory family dynamics, the boundaries of bodies and home, and how individuals choose to participate in or push back against structures that would harm them.
