Terrifying in an all too real way

This is objectively the better "fungus manipulates people" book, the more literary one, and I love it but I don't see it being a book that I pick up over and over again to read in the way Kingfisher's could be.

That said, it is very much worth at least one read, and is an excellent novel filled with suspense and gothic horror.
