Have you ever heard the voice of the earth?
It doesn't scream. It whispers — through mold, through water, through root.

Four tales. Four stages of contamination.
The Root Wants to Remember is an anthology of psychological and symbolic horror where nature is not a backdrop — it's an active force.
Here, fear grows slowly, through concrete cracks and memory gaps.

Set in the deep lands of Brazil — between urban peripheries, forgotten backroads and ghost villages — the book weaves together:

Botanical horror and urban decay

Social criticism disguised as nightmares

Original plant mythology and existential dread

Fictional rituals, contamination, and identity

Latin American dark fiction and magical realism

Perfect for fans of Mariana Enríquez, Jeff VanderMeer, and Brian Evenson.
If you enjoy disturbing stories with dense atmosphere and themes like drought, ancestry, body-as-soil, and memory loss — this book will take root in you.

In the final tale, a teacher receives a letter with no sender.
What she finds in her hometown... isn't just the past.
It's something that has waited — and now, wants to return.

This is a dark fiction anthology, rooted in botanical horror, psychological trauma, and symbolic imagery.
