The Lycan Valley Reaper has a new hobby — Gardening. He tends to each plant's every need from seed to harvest. The black seeds bloom in the shadows, petals unfolding as the twisted vines take root in your mind. 13 stories and 12 poems are planted, germinated and ready for the harvest.SUGAR AND SPICE by Jill Hand FLESH FLORET by Sara Tantlinger HELL IS MORE THAN HALF OF PARADISE by O.R.
