      A twisted, tangled story about workplace love-affairs, and plants with a taste for human flesh from the acclaimed author of Spare and Found Parts and Other Words for Smoke. During a visit to her local shopping mall, Shell Pine sees a 'HELP NEEDED' sign in a flower shop window. She's just left her fiancé, lost her job, and moved home to her parents' house. She has to bring some good into her life, so she takes a chance. And flowers are just the good thing she's been looking for, as is Neve, the beautiful florist. The thing is, Neve needs help more than Shell could possibly imagine. An orchid growing in the heart of the mall is watching them closely. The beautiful florist belongs to him, and he'll do just about anything to make sure he can keep growing big and strong. Nothing he eats-- nobody he eats--can satisfy him, except the thing he most desires. Neve. He will stop at nothing to eat the one he loves. Infused with wit, heart and horror, this is a story about possession, monstrosity and working in retail. It is about hunger and desire, and other terrible things that grow.
