We are thrilled to welcome Sarah Maria Griffin, the highly acclaimed author of Other Words For Smoke and Spare and Found Parts to Whitley Bay Library this summer, to discuss her obsessive and unsettling new novelEat The Ones You Love. A twisted, tangled story about workplace love-affairs, complicated, funny characters and a sentient plant named Baby with a love of human flesh -Eat The Ones You Love is filled with heart and horror, perfect for lovers of the 'weird-girl' lit genre!
During a visit to her local shopping mall, Shell Pine sees a HELP NEEDED sign in a flower shop window. Shes just left her fiance, lost her job, and moved home to her parents house. She has to bring some good into her life, so she takes a chance. And flowers are just the good thing shes been looking for, as is Neve, the beautiful florist. The thing is, Neve needs help more than Shell could possibly imagine.
An orchid growing in the heart of the mall is watching them closely. The beautiful florist belongs to him, and hell do just about anything to make sure he can keep growing big and strong. Nothing he eats nobody he eatscan satisfy him, except the thing he most desires. Neve. He will stop at nothing to eat the one he loves.
Infused with wit, heart and horror, this is a story about possession, monstrosity and working in retail. It is about hunger and desire, and other terrible things that grow.
