Ugly Botany by Ralph Burton

About Ugly Botany by Ralph Burton

Aboard a steam train heading into the heart of Colonial Africa, scrawny botany student D.D. Roswell learns his professor’s dark secret. Virgil Perkins and his wife Cecilia have been single-handedly sustaining the British Empire via unspeakable bedroom antics. Long ago Cecilia’s father made a deal with the devil to ensure that if his daughter slept with her lover every night, the Empire would never die. If, however, she spent the night alone, all hell would break loose. It is then D.D. learns Cecilia is missing, and Virgil has come to Africa to find her. Though, outside, the sun is setting, the crocodiles in the lake are getting hungry, and D.D. knows what his professor must face: no Empire — especially not this one — should last forever.

Author Bio:
I’m a twenty-eight-year-old horror author from the UK. I grew up a stone’s throw from a Roald Dahl museum and a deleted scene from Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange. My obsessions growing up were tortoiseshell cats, Bergman, Ozu, H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, and most of all, not growing up at all. Fuck Neil Gaiman, my biggest influences are Ernest Hemingway, Steven Spielberg, Angela Carter, Toni Morrison, and Sylvia Plath.
