Lying Among Ferns

Henry and Catherine meet in a remote national park to escape the loneliness of their individual lives. Together they explore an exhilarating new world that enlivens their senses, reminding them of who they once were. But just as quickly, their new-found freedom threatens to cast them adrift from everything they've known.

Lying Among Ferns is a short story by crime novelist Connell Nisbet. It is a literary departure from his fast-paced thrillers A Willing Executioner and The Ember Room.
