Infos

The buying of orchids always has in it a certain speculative flavour. You have before you the brown shrivelled lump of tissue, and for the rest you must trust your judgment, or the auctioneer, or your good luck, as your taste may incline. The plant may be moribund or dead, or it may be just a respectable purchase, fair value for your money, or perhaps-for the thing has happened again and again.

---

The novel tells the story of a young scientist, Edward Pretorius, who discovers a species of orchid that has the ability to bring the dead back to life. Pretorius's experiments with the orchid lead him down a path of madness, and he eventually creates a Frankenstein-like creature made up of parts of the corpses of his victims.
