Not for the faint hearted

Haunting, Claustrophobic and Wrenchingly Original... Near an isolated mansion lies a beautiful garden... Blooming with flowers of every conceivable color -man made cliffs, caves and waterfalls. A riotous profusion of leaves and trees... And butterflies that drift freely amongst them. But these butterflies are human and they are not free; their blue skies are made of glass. They were captured around the age of 16 by a man referred to as The Gardener. For thirty years he's stolen butterflies, renamed them, branded them and once they reached their short lived lifespan, he expired and preserved them... his lovely specimens that would remain forever young. The duality of this book was truly remarkable; both beautiful to some extent and yet terribly and deeply disturbing. It's told from an FBI interrogation room through the voice and flashbacks of a survivor named Maya. Her recollections of life inside the atrium are grisly and wildly unnerving but they also paint a stark portrait of sisterhood and resilience. Aside from the scenery, these contrasting themes held the book back from plunging into pure darkness. This was not your typical serial ki**er story; and the gardener was not our typical serial ki**er. It was subtle enough in most of it's visual horror and left readers to read between the lines. That's not to say that sensitive souls should not take caution before reading, because they absolutely should. This book is still VERY dark even without the bl**dshed. I picked this book up two years ago, read about 5 pages before giving up and I couldn't feel more dumb about it. The Butterfly Garden is a 5 star literary nightmare I couldn't seem to pull myself away from. It was brilliantly constructed and written with an almost poetic flair; it was completely addicting. I highly recommend to those with a stomach for it! IG @onthe_nightstand

First of all, definitely consult trigger warnings before reading this book. It’s dark and is definitely not for the faint of heart but it was impossible to put down for me.

Listened this as an audiobook and thought it was so good that I bought the physical copy. It has a lot of twists and turns. The writer will make you imagine what the world the girls live in looks like. Its haunting but beautiful. Highly recommend.
