About

The experiments are working! Etta is starting see the effects that the mysterious flowers that dot the landscape around the Meridian Fellowship can have on rabbits, and her benefactors are urging her to start testing her theories on human beings. She isn’t sure which terrifies her more: the potential consequences of such dangerous actions, or the agony of not knowing what amazing things her formulas could do for her fellow man.

Yet, the more she thinks she understands how the science works, the less she comprehends the influence the otherworldly forces that fuel her experiments is having over her own life.

This tale of cosmic horror from Stephanie Williams (Wonder Woman and Letizia Cadonici (House of Slaughter) intensifies.
