Cabbage by C.S. Fritz

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

A demonic garden horror story that will have you questioning miracles.

I really liked C.S Fritz' debut novel, A Fig For All The Devils; so when I saw his new short story and the unsettling cover I knew I had to read it immediately. This story did not disappoint.

I love that our main characters are an older, married couple with a past that is slowly revealed through this story. So many horror stories feature younger characters, so I thought this was refreshing. The wife has terminal cancer and her husband grows her a garden in their humble cottage-like home to keep her company for the time she has left. After accidentally mixing her blood in the cabbage patch, unusual creatures start to form from the garden.

The story weaves together miracles with the tragic past of our main characters with brutal results.

Thank you to NetGalley and C.S. Fritz for this ARC.

This book is best read while eating cabbage rolls the size of a baby's arm.
