This is so much more than a short horror novel. It’s a beautifully written meditation on life, death and the connections that make life the great mystery it is. There are quite a few pretty icky body-horror moments but you don’t get bogged down by the yuck. Read this. You will thank yourself afterwards.

Delightfully creepy and horrifying with a tender twist. I loved this short story! I wish it was so much longer so I could continue reading it. the nostalgic memories of the mc and others is charming and soothing after a detailed description of my worst nightmare.
This story follows Paul at one of his jobs as a hoarder cleaner. During this job, the team is tasked to clean out a house of a biologist whose focus is fungi. During this clean up, Paul metaphorically & literally transforms, heals emotionally, and discovers a deeper understanding of the connection that exists among fungi, the earth, and the people. Perfect for lovers of creep, science, & horror.

This was a fantastic short story that was not only creepy, but also tugged at my heart. I would recommend for anyone looking for a quick, unique horror read with substance. Thanks so much for letting me read in advance! .

Very good balance between psychology, ecology, and the urge to just scrub your home and body after reading the first few pages. While I wish this was a longer story to take me on a deeper journey with all of the characters, for a quick story this one had me hooked, slightly disturbed, and questioning much of my own mind at the end.
I truly feel it is worth a read.
