an impressive feat in 134 pages. The Potted Plant reads like an old Poe story. Of course, the novella has modern touches throughout, but it reminds me of Poe in a way that feels thought-provoking thematically, atmospheric, and horrific. Gloom is one to watch." -Haley Newlin, Cemetery Dance

"Thomas Gloom's eco-horror novella, The Potted Plant, immediately pulled me in... I won't spoil anything, but let's say this thing has a taste for carnage. In a classic "eye for an eye" tale, Gloom weaves a wickedly enticing story that packs a sucker punch
