Summary "Garden of Evil" by Margaret St. Clair is a science fiction novel written during the mid-20th century. Set on the alien planet Fyhon, the narrative explores themes of addiction, survival, and the clash between civilization and primitive cultures. The book revolves around an ethnographer's journey into the uncharted territories of Fyhon, leading him to unexpected discoveries and dire consequences. The story follows Ericson, who, recovering from a debilitating addiction to the drug "byhror", finds himself in the care of a native green-skinned woman named Mnathl. As she guides him deeper into the wilds of Fyhon, he becomes enamored with the beauty and mystery of the land, eventually yearning to explore its heart, the fabled city of Dridihad. However, as their journey unfolds, Ericson realizes that he is entangled in a dangerous ritual of the Deidrithes, the inhabitants of Dridihad, who have ulterior motives for his presence. The climax reveals a shocking twist where Ericson's previous assumptions collide with the dark reality of the culture he admires, leading to a horrifying conclusion. Ultimately, "Garden of Evil" delves into the complexities of human desires and the chilling realities that can lurk beneath the surface of exploration and discovery.
