To cope with her losses, Josie follows a strict daily routine of work, playing with her dog, and trying to remember to eat a decent meal-and ending each night by drinking copious amounts of vodka. In other words, she is not coping at all.\u003cbr\u003eEverything changes when Josie wakes to find a small shrub has sprouted in her backyard the morning after yet another bender. Within hours, the vine-like plant is running amok-and it's brought company: a busybody new neighbor who insists on thrusting herself into Josie's life, and a talking skeleton called Skelly that has perched itself in Josie's backyard on a throne made of vines.\u003cbr\u003eAs the strangely sentient plant continues to grow and twist its tendrils inside Josie's suddenly complicated life, Josie begins to realize there's a reason Skelly has chosen to appear. All Josie has to do is figure out what that reason is-and she has only a few days to do it, or else she might find herself on the wrong side of catastrophe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTiffany Meuret \u003c\/b\u003eis a writer of monsters and twisted fairy tales.
