________________________________________________________

I think I ordered this book some time during summer, after I accidentally stumbled upon it on an online bookstore. I love anthologies and I love plants, so this title definitely intrigued me enough to order it. I finally decided to read it around Christmas and finished it during a recent trip, so it's officially my first finished book of the year.

"Evil Roots: Killer Tales of the Botanical Gothic" is an interesting anthology of short horror stories by quite a few well-known authors. From the creator of Sherlock Holmes, to the acclaimed writer of "The Yellow Wallpaper", all the way to the legendary H. G. Wells, this collections features some hidden gems of the late 19th and early 20th century. While the stories are certainly old-school, they could still be regarded as timeless classics and masterful creations.

Most stories revolve around the fascination of the exotic - of unknown plants that are in some way dangerous to humans (or other organisms) and which originate from far away places, like South America. There's mentions of exquisite poisonous flowers, murderous liana, mysterious wisteria, and the weirdest of them all - carnivorous plants.

It is interesting just how much the writers and, by default, the general public were fascinated by exotic flora which, in one way or another, transcended the known laws of nature. Plants were considered sedentary, passive, and at the bottom of the food chain, but as new discoveries were being presented and as more people, professionals and amateurs alike, from the western civilization started their expeditions in new places, society was being introduced with oddities that seemingly didn't follow any established rules. So while the horror in this collection is displayed through various flora, the true horror is derived from the simple fact that humans fear what they cannot understand. One of the most frightening things a person, especially a scientist, can experience is realizing that they will never be able to fully predict nature's capability to adapt and to evolve.

Of course, this theme goes hand in hand with the understanding that it is dangerous altering the natural order of things. While this could also be understood as criticism to the human tendency to play god, there isn't much religious commentary throughout the collection. The stories are centered around ecology, evolution, and biology, highlighting how humans shouldn't meddle with something as powerful as nature - which they will never fully understand, let alone be able to control. Even though the writers do create a feeling of dread through the fear of nature, the horror is actually realized through characters that underestimate its abilities and that have the need to disfigure nature in order to measure their own capabilities.

Furthermore, this collection highlights the uncomfortable fascination western civilization had with other cultures. The urge to study new exotic phenomena on their own accord, to test the limits of human science on something they don't fully understand with little to no regard of the laws of nature and the test subject's true needs, is somewhat perverse. These scientists are conducting experiments in uncontrolled environments, and playing with their test-subjects in order to test their own abilities and knowledge. It is a portrayal of poor research. They're acting out of curiosity with little to no regard of the consequences. It is not their subjects that are evil, for they have been brought up and mistreated in an environment completely unnatural to their habitat, but their tormentor, who butchers them through extreme studies. This is usually evident through a secondary character, most often a colleague, who tries to stop the scientist in their mad experiment before it's too late. The horror is, therefore, found in the abuse executed by the brazen oppressor, not in their vicious, abnormal creations.

The fact that the aforementioned themes barely scratch the surface of all the ideas featured in this collection, prove how layered and compelling all the featured stories are. The editor also did a marvelous job with a lovely foreword and an intriguing introduction to each of the authors and their respective work. Of course, as with every short story collection, not all works are equally strong, but "Evil Roots: Killer Tales of the Botanical Gothic" is still a gorgeous anthology and a noteworthy testament to a relatively overlooked category of horror.

Scrolling to the JP, thank you @mako-neexu for the tags, about Papa Mon makes me think of weird stuff, spoilers for Ordeal Call 2

If mama Da Vinci is Italian, papa Edmond is French... How did Guda/ko became a Japanese citizen and they are living in JP?

Also sorry for the classical artists and literature fans for the tags

Hey at least genetically it matches in a way for the ID world, pre Chateau Edmond looks kinda like Gudao

Yes this is pre Chateau younger Edmond according to The Drama CD, and in the literature verse that makes this Edmond a 19 years old. (That means the white hair kuhahahaha Edmond is a dilf)

You can even argue Gudako has his ahoge and golden eyes (since Gudao got his blue eyes from mama Da Vinci) and instead, she is a result of former relationship with Haydee or perhaps Edmond is a widower in ID verse.

Just a weird thought for fanfics

Could you name a few of your all time favorite first cousin couples from fiction?

When I think about it, I don't have a lot of favorite first cousin couples, but I'll try to name a few.

I read the manga "Mariage Recipe" and the couple was cute, so I liked it. Since that's my job, I should probably read more shipcest manga, lol. That's what I'm planning to do, so expect more manga posts soon.

Valentina and Federico from "The five Juanas" think they're half-siblings, but they stay together after finding out they're first cousins.

In the game "Romance club" there's Mehmed who's MC's first cousin and you can romance him. It's a bit (or not a bit) toxic romance, but I love it.

Couples from "Lovebird", "How I live now", "Blue lagoon" are fine, can't say they're my favorite though.

I'm sure I would like Victoria and Albert if I watched "Victoria", even if it's based on real people I still see it as fiction because I don't ship real people lol.

But if we count non-canon too, then I definitely have a favorite first cousin couple, that would be Haruka and Kanata from "Harukana receive". I love them.

I also ship Camilo and Isabela from "Encanto", but it's not like the ship has a solid foundation lol, I just like the idea.

tfw u take off ur clothes 2 disguise urself as ur friend's dead body so that the jailers (ur in jail btw) will bury u instead of ur friend in the jail graveyard after which u will dig ur way out & escape, only they tie a cannonball 2 ur feet & throw u in the sea instead, & u only survive bc u r able 2 saw off the cannonball using ur dead friend's knife which u brought w u in case u were discovered & had 2 stab sumbody, & thankfully u happen 2 b a champion swimmer & sailor (ur a sailor by trade btw) & so r able 2 swim out 2 an island a league away just as a terrible storm strikes, & as ur riding out the storm on this island, pondering how 2 keep from starving 2 death &/or dying of thirst &/or being manhunted once the jailers discover uve gone missing, a ship is wrecked on the rocks & the sailors drown right in front of u, & then in the morning after the storm clears u see a smuggler's ship abt 2 pass by the island, so u swim out 2 last night's shipwreck, take the cap of 1 of the drowned sailors, & call out 4 the smugglers 2 rescue u, & after a harrowing near-drowning they succeed in pulling u out of the water by ur hair & u come 2 on their deck surrounded by the captain & crew & manage 2 convince them, w the aid of the cap u took from the wreck, that u were the sole survivor of the ship that wrecked last night, & when the captain is like so wut r we sposed 2 do w u now lol, ur like there is nary a port in the mediterranean i could not navigate in2 or out of w my eyes closed, & the captain's like ok lol ill believe that when i c it (rolling his eyes & making the jerkoff motion behind ur back) & ur like, ill prove it 2 u right now, & hes like, b my guest, so u take the helm & perform an impressive nautical maneuver that has everybody staring @ u in amazement, totally in awe of u 4 ur brains & ur brawn alike, & ur like (all casual, like u didnt just figuratively blow them out of the water) so just leave me in a port sumwhere & sum1 will hire me, or if u like wut u c i can just stay w u & work off the cost of the food & clothing u will provide 4 me, and that's when i remembered that edmond dantès was naked the entire time. he stripped back in prison before his escape so as to better resemble a cadaver and he's been in his birthday suit ever since. dude stole a cap from a dead sailor to sell his shipwreck survivor story and was otherwise as bare as the day he was born. he's in the process of dying of hunger and thirst and he just takes over the helm totally buck naked to pass the captain's navigation test. cap perched jauntily on his forehead, tangled hair and beard plastered to his skin, junk dangling in the breeze as he gives an impromptu demonstration of his sailing skills. imagine being a crewmember watching the drowned rat of a man you just heroically rescued from the jaws of death turn around and do this. how would you even react. who does that? like he's a better sailor than all of you combined but where are his pants. where the fuck are his pants??

#tfw u r naked & u need 2 pretend 2 b the victim of a shipwreck so u steal a cap BUT NO OTHER CLOTHING #okay so you were shipwrecked and you've been stranded all night and you somehow lost all of your clothes EXCEPT YOUR HAT? #IN WHAT WORLD IS THAT A LIKELY HAPPENSTANCE SIR #i feel like the hat would be one of the first articles of clothing to go #given how easy it was for you to find a cap bobbing around in the water BUT NOT ANY OTHER CLOTHES #BC THOSE CLOTHES WERE STILL ON THEIR BODIES #LIKE YOURS WOULD BE IF YOU WERE ACTUALLY ONE OF THE SAILORS YOU'RE PRETENDING TO BE #but whatever because the smugglers didn't question it #okay but my actual favorite part of this whole scene is when the guy who rescued him is like dude i almost didn't rescue you because #your hair and beard were so long i thought you were a brigand #and edmond is like oh this old beard? this is because i made a vow ten years ago that if god delivered me from imminent danger #i would not cut my hair or beard for ten years. and guess what! my ten years is up today! #oh yeah?????? HOW CONVENIENT #a;skdfhaldskfas edmond you fucking weirdo how are they buying this your story is so ridiculous!!! #the count of monte cristo #my posts #f #anyway i got to 'je vous rembourserai ma nourriture jusque-là et les habits que vous allez me prêter' and was like. WAIT A SECOND #DUDE IS NUDE RN #dude stole a cap and was like yeah i think that covers it. i am going to convince the shit outta these guys #and in fairness to him. he did convince them. they bought it hook line and sinker #but from a doylist perspective i'm like REALLY DUMAS? REALLY??? #that's 19e siècle lit for ya
