From Shirley Jackson Award-nominated editor Alex Woodroe, comes an eco-horror novel of hyperactive flora, ancient manors, and the terrifying wilderness of Transylvania.

Tatratea, a manor home reclaimed by nature deep in the Romanian wilderness, has stood in isolation for decades. Researcher Errata's sole mission is to track down the strange signals coming from inside and uncover why the whole world's gone insane.

With the doors locking shut behind her, and the local flora very much determined to keep her from leaving, her sanity check protocols, voice recorder, and a bit of camping gear are all she can use to figure out what's crashed in the hedge maze, and why it's disrupting reality. Relying on her intuition, Errata must solve the mystery and escape Tatratea before it’s too late.

With an unsettling and dread-filled atmosphere, Woodroe crafts a novel about a researcher trying to make sense of the unexplainable and survive the deadly manor.

"In Tatratea, Alex Woodroe creates a visceral atmosphere without a single wasted word. With prose as eerie as the uncanny, botanical horrors it depicts—and a sharp reminder that humans aren’t the only things that adapt quickly—it's an absolute page-turner." —Charles Tyra, founder/publisher of Cosmic Horror Monthly

"The Southern Reach but more despairing. Brilliant sense of unreality and the horror of not being able to trust your own mind." —Michael Tichy, author of The Winnowing Draw and Behind Every Tree, Beneath Every Rock

"Rooted in eco-horror and blooms into a psychedelic mindbender." —Michael Bettendorf, author of TRVE CVLT and Help! I Can't Stop Shitting Snakes

"Woodroe expertly maintains suspense throughout this unsettling and immersive sci-fi thriller. Readers will be on the edges of their seats." —Publishers Weekly
