Madam Clizia I love plants, don’t you? I like the vines that crawl up your neck to strangle you. I like the poisonous herbs that kill you with one drop of their nefarious juices. And I like those Plants that befoul the air with their sneeze-inducing pollens. It’s their way to say to us, “I suffocatingly love you back!” This issue of Haunted Horror is dedicated to my plants, those fungi growing in my damp basement, and other infecting afflictions. I throttle them with love and they thrive. You can say that I have a black thumb!
