Every year, he wins the town's floral competition. Every year, Beth stews in second place... until this year.When Beth sends her grandson Knox to spy on the neighbor's basement, what he finds twists their lives into a nightmare of rot, bone, and blooming obsession. As Mr. Daniels offers help, and Beth accepts with trembling hands, her flowers begin to thrive-but so does something else. Something unnatural. Something hungry.As paranoia grows, the town sheriff vanishes, people begin to whisper, and the line between gardener and gravedigger starts to blur. Knox knows the truth... but in Moonville, speaking up might just plant you in the ground.The Bloom of Secrets is the next chilling entry in the Liminal Paradox collection-a claustrophobic, gothic horror about twisted neighbors, cursed soil, and the horrors we water with envy.
