Across the desolate landscape of the American south in the year 1847, against the backdrop of the Mexican-American War, The Garden unfolds its sombre narrative. Here where the hearts of men are unyielding as the terrain, two restless souls embark upon a pilgrimage seeking desperately a home or flicker of hope.
Yet a darker shadow looms over their journey. They are pursued relentlessly by an enigmatic adversary and his acolytes, an alchemic and malevolent force consumed by a twisted vision of remaking the world, leaving behind only ashes and a trail drenched in the crimson echoes of his relentless ambitions. As they navigate this unforgiving landscape the world teeters on the precipice of a profound occult metamorphosis where the seeds of fascism may also be seen to take root beneath the banner of manifest destiny.
In the bleak and disquieting prose of their debut novel Aidan Scott weaves a haunting tale of survival, morality and the eerie birth of an unsettling future where the land itself will bear witness to the horrors of humanity's inexorable pursuit of power and a destiny shrouded in enigma and dread.
The Garden is an apocalyptic vision of biblical proportions, steeped in the rich imagery of a distantly familiar world like a hospice patient's fever dream. Not since Cormac McCarthy or William Faulkner have I read prose so searing, so hypnotic in its overwhelming display of talent. Aidan Scott has written nothing less than a modern masterpiece.- Jack Moody, author of The Monotony of Everlasting and Crooked Smile
