The Writhing, Verdant End

Paperback – December 9, 2025
by Corey Farrenkopf, Tiffany Morris, and Eric Raglin

A vivid and unsettling collection of weird ecological horror that explores the awe, terror, and strangeness of the natural world in collapse—perfect for readers of body horror, eco-dread fiction, and apocalyptic dark fantasy.

An ailing community traverses a chasm of nightmare animal amalgams in a desperate attempt to reach a rumored paradise beyond the wilderness. Lovers in a plant apocalypse fight for meaning and survival as the green world tightens its grip on everything they once knew. Reunited friends resurrect an extinct bird through grisly sacrifice, discovering that some losses are meant to remain buried.

Across these disturbing, visionary stories, nature becomes both executioner and witness, reshaping the world into something unrecognizable—and forcing humanity to confront what happens when the earth stops forgiving us.

Blending mythic ecological horror with deeply human storytelling, The Writhing, Verdant End delivers a gripping exploration of survival, transformation, and the monstrous potential of the living world.
