Doomflower

Doomflower

By Jendia Gammon

A gonzo campy horror novel by Nebula and BSFA award finalist author Jendia Gammon.

The meanest teen queen in high school might be the world’s only chance against killer plants run amok!

Camellia Dume is the meanest teen queen in her Malibu high school, a rich daddy’s girl thanks to her father’s elaborate scams. But she might be the only hero for humanity as an extraterrestrial mutation sends plants tearing across the country and through people in bloody fashion. As if that weren’t enough drama, Camellia just might meet her own personal match or worst enemy, in the new student Wray, as sparks fly and opposites attract. Only by working together can they uproot a deadly conspiracy that may have torn Camellia’s family apart.

Think HEATHERS meets MEAN GIRLS meets DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS and THE THING: gory, horrific, but hilariously so. Perfect for fans of Grady Hendrix.

Longlisted for the British Science Fiction Association Award for Best Novel

Praise for Doomflower

“Bitchy high-schoolers, homicidal plants, and a mysterious conspiracy–what more could you ask for? A real page-turner.”

– Antony Johnston, New York Times bestselling author of Atomic Blonde and The Dog Sitter Detective series

“Pitch-perfect.”

– Nerds of a Feather, Flock Together

“Doomflower by Jendia Gammon is a relentless, fast-paced horror thriller that grips the reader from the very first page and littered with hilarious moments that will have you laughing!”

– The Inkblotters review

“Doomflower is a fun, fast-paced novel of a teenager trying to live her life as an apocalypse looms ever closer! It is a mixture of horror, science fiction, and teen drama that is never dull and carries you through from beginning to end. Uncertainty and the unknown are important factors for making a horror story work, and Gammon makes it work well for her here. It is worth noting that Doomflower is also a story of romance, and this aspect of the book is also deftly handled! The book is as much a teen drama as it is a horror novel, and it manages to work well for both genres.”

– Gregory J. Gbur, author of Invisibility: The History and Science of How Not to Be Seen
