In a flooded world, Iraxi is ostracized and pregnant aboard a ship, but the baby she is carrying may not be human and once it’s unleashed onto the world, there’s no telling what will happen.
Flowers for the Sea by Zin E. Rocklyn is an engrossing and unsettling Lovecraftian pregnancy horror novella.
First off, I really loved how visceral the writing in this novella was. The author managed to create a fantastic sense of atmosphere and claustrophobia, and their vivid descriptions of body horror left me squirming in my seat.
Lastly, I do want to point out that this story is weird—wonderfully weird, so if you’re looking for a story about an eldritch baby like in Bloodborne, this one’s for you.
Thank you, NetGalley and Tordotcom, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
