* Title: The Idiot's Garden * Author(s) name(s): Kyle E. Miller * ISBN (or ASIN): 978-1-962004-05-3 * Publisher: NY DUMBO LLC * Publication Date Year: 2025 * Publication Date Month: September * Publication Date Day: 27 * Page count: 183 * Format (such as paperback, hardcover, ebook, audiobook, etc): paperback * Description: A jungle has overgrown the toxic remnants of a far-gone world, leaving the mysteries of the reviving Earth to those transmuted by time. A boy named Seed overcomes a terminal illness after eating a fish infested with forever chemicals. His friend Bike struggles to reconcile the present with the fragmented memories of his seemingly endless past. And Peloria, a double-minded hybrid who speaks a language of her own, searches for the meaning of her singular existence. Together, they navigate the frontier of a post-apocalyptic world and the strange power that threatens to eliminate the last humans. In this work of experimental fiction, the line between poetry and prose is as blurred as that between human and non-human, vine and power line, leaf and data chip. The only way to survive in this new world is not only to overcome one’s past, but to dissolve the boundaries of flesh itself.
