The book is The butterfly garden by Dot Hutchison. I’m half way there and there is something that bothers me! Every time I read about the “butterflies” in their case in the hallway I cannot stop thinking about the pumpkin video on how they tried to preserve a pumpkin in resin and it didn’t work out!
The body just rots! And the fluids drip! I just keep imagining cases with dark fluid and very smelly lol.

lol this is such weird association but now I can’t unsee it either. Like you’re reading this dark thriller and your brain just goes “remember that pumpkin disaster?”
I think author maybe didn’t think too much about the actual logistics of preservation when writing it. Most readers probably don’t have random pumpkin experiment knowledge floating around in their heads to ruin the atmosphere
