Grass

Sheila never wanted to see her ex-husband again, so she was thoroughly displeased when his plane crashed into the southern Georgia swamps and she had to go and identify him. She was even more surprised by what she brought back with her from the morgue.

Anya Martin has contributed short stories to numerous international anthologies, and Grass became her first standalone publication. Prepare yourself for a truly bizarre tale of strange swamp love, loss, sex, and death.

Anya Martin is one of the more original and imaginative authors of the contemporary dark fiction wave, telling stories that blend dark erotica with the weird and surreal. These are stories that hurt you while seducing you, leaving you breathless with terror and wonder, begging for more.
– Livia Llewellyn, author of Furnace

A darkly tantalising tale laced with undercurrents of painfully seductive erotica and temptation, clouded by threads of horror.
– Shane Douglas Keene, This Is Horror

I do not think I am wrong in describing Grass as a cross between Swamp Thing – which it even references –, The Shape of Water, and Stanisław Lem's Solaris. It might sound shocking, but Anya Martin uses all these influences to tell a story of loneliness and depression from a female perspective.
– José Luis Pascual, Dentro del Monolito
