DARLING NIGHTMARES
Garden Chronicles
There is always more happening in the Garden than anyone admits.
Some stories are remembered.
Some are written down.
Some appear in ledgers, reports, warnings, and notes that probably should have stayed private.
Garden Chronicles collects the smaller stories, strange incidents, questionable records, visitor rules, rumors, and mysteries surrounding the Darling Nightmares.
Not everything here has an explanation.
Some things are better that way.
Start anywhere. Ask questions. Make theories. Just don’t assume everyone in the Garden is telling the truth.
