The Garden of the Twisted

The Garden of the Twisted is not a book of stories for escaping. It is a walk through what is normally kept hidden: small guilt, well-mannered anger, the desire to fit in and the habit of pretending everything is fine. Twenty-five brief, direct and incisive stories are accompanied by twenty-five illustrations—one for each story. Every character stumbles upon a twisted version of themselves: the one they would never dare say aloud. There are no morals or comfortable endings here. There is atmosphere, irony and an uncomfortable truth that stays with you. If you have ever felt that “normal” was too expensive a mask, this garden is made to your measure.
