Explore the ancient myths and old wives’ tales to the secret meanings of plants, herbs, and flowers in Wicked Roots, a collection of eerie stories about the plants we thought we knew about.
Journey through haunted woodlands and cursed clearings to uncover tales of the strange and magical plants that don’t simply live or die…they lurk.

From ancient myths to old wives’ tales, Wicked Roots reveals the surprising lives of plants through the lens of legend and mystery. Discover stories of a tree that whispers, a flower that sprang from a god’s blood, and an herb that screams when pulled from the earth. This book features 75 plant references with stunning illustrations, taking you softly through graveyard groves and spooky swamps, where flowers feed on forgotten sorrows and roots clutch ancient bones. Learn about the mythology and uses of a variety of plants, including:



Mandrake: associated with magic, screaming roots, and protection spells
Hemlock: a notorious poison
Laurel: a symbol of transformation and triumph
Foxglove: a beautiful but toxic plant tied to fairies, witches, and hidden realms
And more…


Perfect for fans of mythology, folklore, and gardening, this book is your guide to a garden that not only grows—it remembers. Explore the darker side of nature with a playful, gothic twist in Wicked Roots.

Castle Books explores the realms of the mysterious and unknown with books that delve into ghost stories, ancient legends, and the paranormal. Through our curated collection, we aim to inspire curiosity, spark conversations, and empower readers to embrace the complexities of life with open minds and open hearts.
