ABOUT
THE BOOK
LOST IN THE GARDEN
BY ADAM S LESLIE

Heather, Rachel and Antonia are going to Almanby. Heather needs to find her boyfriend who, like so many, went and never came back. Rachel has a mysterious package to deliver. And lovestruck Antonia just wants to spend the day with Heather. Creepy, dreamlike, unsettling and unforgettable, this is the story of why we don’t go to Almanby.

ADAM S LESLIE

Adam S. Leslie grew up in deepest rural Lincolnshire sometime in the 1980s, a child of Bagpuss, distant pylons and big red sunsets. He can now be found roaming the side-streets of Oxford or holed up in the big Blackwell’s bookshop daydreaming of stories and snacks. As well as an author, Adam is also a screenwriter, a musician and songwriter (under the name Berlin Horse), and produces and co-hosts RetroTube Archive Television Podcast.
