After reading the Plante book Seed of Evil a couple years ago, I discovered that the author had penned a couple of other horror novels. Garden of Evil is one of those other books.This book contains several "classic" horror elements that fans of the genre will immediately recognize--a large old house, witchcraft, secrets, and yes, even the good old creepy cellar. With these elements under its arm, this book takes off in an interesting direction. culminating with the growth of cursed seeds planted by the main family's daughter.What comes of that growth is certainly terrifying, and as you visit each of the little girl's gardens planted north, south, east, and west of the house, the suspense grows page by page. And while "killer plants" have been done with much "cheese" and ridiculousness in other horror books and movies, Plante manages to pull it off with a minimum of "oh geez" groans and rolled eyes from the reader.A quick, solid read for horror fans.
