The House Plant

This was another story that was very nicely given to me as an ARC reader. 

At the beginning of Jeremy Ray's stories there's a nod to Pixar's little shorts before their movies and how much he loves them and wants to honor them with little micro-stories before his own pieces. I love that and I particularly loved that for this piece because this entire story could read like a Pixar release. 

It follows a legitimate house plant in a story of love, death, grief, forgiveness, and growth. It should be silly and yet it pulls at all your heart strings instead.  I was once again attached to my phone from start to finish, just like with Petrified Women. You'll feel a genuine pit in your stomach and maybe some tears in your eyes as well. I think it's a point in the authors favor as well that he can write such gripping drama and also horror. I feel like it's not often enough that we see authors doing more than one genre well.

I absolutely encourage you to pick this up. You can find all of Jeremy's work via the link in his bio on Instagram, and everything (paperback and digital) is available through Amazon!
