"In Tatratea, Alex Woodroe creates a visceral atmosphere without a single wasted word. With prose as eerie as the uncanny, botanical horrors it depicts—and a sharp reminder that humans aren’t the only things that adapt quickly—it's an absolute page-turner." —Charles Tyra, founder/publisher of Cosmic Horror Monthly"The Southern Reach but more despairing. Brilliant sense of unreality and the horror of not being able to trust your own mind." —Michael Tichy, author of The Winnowing Draw and Behind Every Tree, Beneath Every Rock"Rooted in eco-horror and blooms into a psychedelic mindbender." —Michael Bettendorf, author of TRVE CVLT and Help! I Can't Stop Shitting SnakesPrevious Praise for Alex Woodroe's The Night Ship"Woodroe offers a haunting and propulsive treat in this survival horror story, whose read-alikes include The Mist and The Langoliers, both by Stephen King, and God’s Junk Drawer by Peter Clines." —Library Journal"Woodroe expertly maintains suspense throughout this unsettling and immersive sci-fi thriller. Readers will be on the edges of their seats." —Publishers Weekly
