Lost in the Garden Summary

Lost in the Garden by Adam S. Leslie

'Like an old wives' tale, like a piece of wisdom passed down through generations which no one questioned or even thought about too hard. Like folklore. It was just something everyone knew, a rule to be followed. Don't go to Almanby.' Heather, Rachel and Antonia are going to Almanby. Heather needs to find her boyfriend who, like so many, went and never came back. Rachel has a mysterious package to deliver, and her life depends on it. And Antonia - poor, lovestruck Antonia just wants the chance to spend the day with Heather. So off they set through the idyllic yet perilous English countryside, in which nature thrives in abundance and summer lasts forever. And as they travel through ever-shifting geography and encounter strange voices in the fizz of shortwave radio, the harder it becomes to tell friend from foe. Creepy, dreamlike, unsettling and unforgettable - you are about to join the privileged few who come to understand exactly why we don't go to Almanby.

Lost in the Garden Reviews

"Eerily enchanting and profoundly inventive, Adam S. Leslie's Lost in the Garden is a dreamy and unsettling masterwork written with such care and aplomb...This is one of the freshest and most spiritually rewarding novels I've read in quite some time." Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke "Lost in the Garden is like trying to recall a troubling and beautiful dream; it's like peering through a wound in the world; sorrowful, uncanny and utterly stunning. This book is magnificent, like nothing I've ever read before." Matt Wesolowski, author of the Six Stories series "England's overheating, death-warped countryside is a genius setting for Leslie's shamelessly unhinged novel - equal parts road trip and bad acid trip. But for all the weirdness, it's the characterisation that makes the novel so compelling: Lost in the Garden has a wit and groundedness that bring something fresh to the folk horror tradition." Matt Hill, author of Lamb

About Adam S. Leslie

Adam grew up in deepest rural Lincolnshire sometime in the 1980s, a child of Bagpuss, distant pylons and big red sunsets. He can now be found roaming the side-streets of Oxford or holed up in the big Blackwell's bookshop daydreaming of stories and snacks. As well as an author, Adam is also a screenwriter, a musician and songwriter (under the name Berlin Horse), and produces and co-hosts RetroTube Archive Television Podcast with his best friend Heather, where they say cheeky things about old TV. However, he can't do anything useful like drive a car or be married. Adam likes weird cocktails and old Doctor Who, and is only slightly obsessed by The Beatles.
