Dinner With A Friend

SPECIMEN 313 by Jeff Strand features a mad scientist experimenting with flesh-eating plants, but the story is told from the POV of one plant in particular. Max starts to feel a bit off, but his mood changes when a new specimen named Jenny is planted next to him.

The plants are my favorite characters. Strand's creation is a mix of The Happening with Little Shop of Horrors. I enjoyed the scene with the discarded plant cursing at the others, and I wish the author had included more interactions within the greenhouse experiments.

As always,
