Midnight in the Garden
When the clock strikes twelve, the garden blooms with secrets.
In this haunting and evocative collection, the writers of the Novelitics Writers Collective take readers on a journey through the shadows of the human heart. Midnight in the Garden offers a fresh and unexpected exploration of the seven deadly sins—lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride—through stories that are by turns chilling, poignant, darkly humorous, and utterly unforgettable.
From quiet betrayals and whispered confessions to explosive confrontations and eerie reckonings, each tale digs deep beneath the surface of sin to uncover the desires, fears, and fragile hopes that drive us all. This is not a morality tale—it’s a mirror.
Dare to wander the garden paths after dark. You might not come back the same.
Coming September 2025 in paperback and ebook.
