Bonus: The Garden by Nick Newman
02/19/2025

Cesky and Panda discuss The Garden by Nick Newman (released February 18, 2025). Described as "A darkly beautiful, eerie, hypnotic novel about two elderly sisters living alone at the edge of the world." Perhaps a more appropriate read for fans of The Road by Cormac McCarthy or Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. But don't expect much sff aspects to the story.

Disclaimer: We received an ARC of The Garden from NetGalley

Cesky hosts BefuddledPanda, Little Red Book, and special guest author, Neal Shusterman for another round of Circle of Deviations.

“If happiness were literally a virus – would we want to catch it? And more importantly, would we choose to spread it, even if it has a high mortality rate?" ~ Neal Shusterman
