Description
From the fungus-webbed House of Usher to the maddening, fungus-like wallpaper of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's classic tale of madness, and Ray Bradbury's account of insidious mushroom dispersal via the US postal system, weird fiction has harboured a thriving culture of fungal horrors throughout the past two centuries.
With stories of mycological possession alongside dark, pulpy science fiction, monstrous fruiting bodies run amok, this new anthology collects the classic with the lost and obscure to trace our fascination with a spore-infested branch of British and American fiction.
Spores of Doom invites readers into a world where fungi hold terrifying power, blending elements of both horror and science fiction to create an unforgettable and eerie collection of tales.
