Raven sits down with author and historian Marta McDowell for a conversation surrounding the dark and fascinating relationship between gardening, folklore, poison, and crime fiction in her book “Gardening Can Be Murder: How Poisonous Poppies, Sinister Shovels, and Grim Gardens Have Inspired Mystery Writers.”

Together, they explore the surprising ways gardens, plants, landscapes, and even ordinary gardening tools have shaped mystery and murder narratives throughout literary history. The discussion dives into poisonous plants, gothic atmosphere, classic mystery influences, and how authors have long used nature itself as both setting and weapon in storytelling.

The conversation also touches on literary history and why gardens so often become symbolic spaces for secrecy, death, beauty, and buried truths in fiction.

Now featured on Dreadfully Yours, Raven Rollins: Conversations with Dark Storytellers.
