If you'd told me at the beginning of the year I'd read two fungal-inspired horror novels, I wouldn't have believed you but here we are...

Very spooky and atmospheric until the last quarter of the book where it feels like a coin flip on whether our protagonist will live or die. Pretty gross descriptions of decay and rot (which I love in a scary story but I get it's not for everyone).
