A 2025 SHIRLEY JACKSON AWARD NOMINEEFrom the author of The Night Library of Sternendach comes a haunting sci-fi horror for fans of Jeff VanderMeer and Lina Rather.Dr. Therese Blake is a homebody archaeologist devoted to the history of planet Earth. But when her sister Lissy makes a stunning discovery near an abandoned colony on a distant exoplanet, the sisters team up to discover its secrets.Eerie, luminescent images cover the walls of an underground cavern. The glass garden looks like a payday to Lissy, who’s been struggling to turn a profit to keep her salvage crew fed and paid. Therese, however, insists on careful academic procedure. She can’t figure it out: Is the anomaly an artificial creation–or a living organism?As the anomaly’s mystery draws the sisters into an obsessive orbit, it turns out neither greed nor science can offer protection from its relentless gravity.

Praise for The Glass Garden“The Glass Garden is a sensual, despairing, beautiful hallucination, and Jessica Lévai crafts the lines of the tale with a disturbingly unerring precision. This is an elegantly crafted narrative with black hole patience, each line as inevitable as the one that preceded it, drawing—as all the best tales do—to the only possible conclusion.”—Greg Rucka, writer of Lazarus“Lévai skillfully builds tension between the sisters as they explore a setting that oozes with atmosphere and, eventually, discover the bizarre force at the garden’s root.”—Publishers Weekly“Surreal and thrilling.”—Independent Book Review
