NOMINATED FOR THE BRAM STOKER AWARD AND THE SHIRLEY JACKSON AWARD! 

Annihilation meets Manhunt in this gloriously queer psychedelic trip into the heart of an eldritch wood and the horrors of (cis)terhood.

I see something out there, in the woods. It does not have a face.

They call it the King’s Breakfast. One bite and you can understand the full scope of the universe; one bite and you can commune with forgotten gods beyond human comprehension. And it only grows deep in the Pamogo forest, where the trees crowd so tight that the forest floor is pitch black day and night, where rumors of disappearing hikers and strange cults that worship the divine feminine abound.

Sarah is a trans woman who makes her living growing mushrooms. When a bad harvest leaves her in a desperate fix, the lure of the King’s Breakfast has her journeying into those vast uncharted woods. But as she descends deeper, she realizes she's not alone. Something in the forest is waking up. It's hungry―and it wants her. 

★ "A bizarre and fiercely original splatterpunk phantasmagoria of queerness. Deranged and gleefully weird as f*ck, this is an impressive debut from a singular literary talent." ―Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke

★ “As eldritch and grimy as the terrifying forest it’s set in. I loved this book!" ―Trevor Henderson, author of Scarewaves 

★ "Weird, wild, and oh-so-wretched, Moonflow is the trans botanical horror we need in the world right now." ―Drew Huff, author of The Divine Flesh

★ “Is it legal to have this much fun reading a book? I’m in awe of Karella’s incredible gift for creating biting satire. I had a f*cking blast.” ―Joe Koch, Shirley Jackson Award-nominated author of The Wingspan of Severed Hands

Bitter Karella is the writer and horror aficionado behind the twice Hugo-nominated microfiction comedy account @Midnight_pals, which asks what if all your favorite horror writers gathered around the campfire to tell scary stories. His work has appeared in Seize the Press, Tenebrous Press’s Your Body in Not Your Body, and Ghoulish Books’ Bound in Flesh. She also dabbles in cartooning and text game design.
