The Poisonous Garden

The moment Ruby meets Donovan at a college party, she finds herself hopelessly drawn to him. He's handsome, mysterious, and most of all, he adores her. Not even his interest in Satanism turns Ruby away. It's a hobby, she assumes, a harmless hobby. Once the vows are made and the ring is on her finger, Ruby notices a change. Donovan suddenly grows distant and manipulative. He makes friends with a local drug lord, and Ruby suspects he's joined their ranks.

As Ruby laments the lost promise of a happy marriage, Donovan surprises her with a plot in a community garden. She hopes this new project will rekindle their relationship, unaware that Donovan has dark plans in store for this garden. What grows in its bed threatens to destroy Ruby's very life, and after years of torment, she is finally ready to share the untold tale of the devil who dragged her through hell.
