The book
This Ain’t Eden
The Wild, the Unseen, and the World Beyond the Garden
An interpretive nonfiction book about the stories, evidence, and questions that gather around our origin—and what may have followed humanity out of the garden.
What it explores
A different place. A wider question.
The book begins with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, then follows the possibility that Eden was separate from the world they entered after exile—the world where Adam, Eve, and Cain had to live.
From there, it considers whether cryptids may be remnants of what exists in the physical and spiritual realms. These are interpretive hypotheses, placed alongside biblical reading, historical and folkloric accounts, and current scientific knowledge.
The aim is not to close the question. It is to make room for a careful, open-minded look at what we think we know.
Interpretive nonfiction. Metaphysical hypotheses—not established science. Reported encounters are not presented as proof.
