About DOOMFLOWER: The meanest teen queen in high school might be the world's only chance against killer plants run amok! Camellia Dume is the meanest teen queen in her Malibu high school, a rich daddy’s girl thanks to her father's elaborate scams. But she might be the only hero for humanity as an extraterrestrial mutation sends plants tearing across the country and through people in bloody fashion.  As if that weren't enough drama, Camellia just might meet her own personal match or worst enemy, in the new student Wray, as sparks fly and opposites attract. Only by working together can they uproot a deadly conspiracy that may have torn Camellia's family apart. 

Think HEATHERS meets MEAN GIRLS meets DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS and THE THING: gory, horrific, but hilariously so. Perfect for fans of Grady Hendrix.
