{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Movie","name":"In the Garden of Poisonous Flowers","description":"Late one night, on a lonely south Georgia highway, a very strange car picks up an even stranger hitchhiker and the fates of all concerned become inextricably intertwined. \n\nMeet Dancy Flammarion, an orphaned albino girl who talks to angels and is intent on ridding the world of monsters. But what happens when one of the monsters decides to use her for his own dark ends?\n\nCaitlín R. Kiernan's In the Garden of Poisonous Flowers is a wickedly delicious novella that tells us a bit more about Dancy Flammarion. Dancy, an albino orphan whose angels tell her what monsters to kill, was a pivotal character in the author's second novel Threshold (2001). In Garden's 85 pages you'll also meet The Bailiff - a mysterious gentleman who travels with two vampires - and Miss Aramat Drawdes, the unspoken matriarch of the Stephens Ward Tea League and Society of Resurrectionists. Miss Aramat and her ladies are an elegant and decadent sisterhood of ghouls who live in a grand mansion in Savannah, Georgia to whom The Bailiff delivers Dancy for his own arcane reasons.\n\nIn the Garden of Poisonous Flowers is award-winning fantasist Caitlin R. Kiernan's first-ever novella, giving us a glimpse into the life of Dancy Flammarion shortly before her appearance in Kiernan's critically-acclaimed second novel, Threshold. This gritty yet decadent story of ghouls, corruption, and talking bears, draws us deeply into a world of madness and betrayal, forbidden appetites and deadly intrigue, and the light that shines from the most unlikely of heroes.","image":"https://assets.hardcover.app/edition/32140167/a0d350dd-d447-4ee2-88ac-5ced7132c36a.jpg","datePublished":"2002-01-01"}
