Evil Roots: Killer Tales of the Botanical Gothic by Daisy Butcher
5.0
4.5 rounded up
This collection is a lot of fun to read. I love a good gothic tale and the twist of having murderous/carnivorous/just plain spooky plants involved as the main horror driving force is a lot of fun.
For myself (and potentially others) I'm listing here each story and my rating for it out of five for reference in the future (in case I would like to reread some of these stories).

Professor Jonkin's Cannibal Plant ★★★★★
The Voice in the Night ★★★★★
The Pavillion ★★★★
