Recs if you like Ghost Eaters...

This is a list of Mushroomcore related books! We have everything from horror, to cozy and fantasy/sci-fi. This is the era of Spontasy (Fantasy), Spomance (Romance) and other genres too. Essentially it's time for the mushroom goblins to take over the world

all things fungal horror ❤︎⁠ there are a few mushroom and cottagegore lists around, but i wanted to make a comprehensive guide to the genre! suggestions welcome :)

I can't be the only one who want to remember all the books without jumping around in a video, right?

what gab smolders read in 2025 as per her book talk video! horror + in tier order from most to least liked by her:

★ S TIER: from "night shoot" to "old country"

★ A TIER: from "what stalks the deep" to "listen to your sister"

★ B TIER: from "the long walk" to "the gathering"

★ C TIER: from "banquet for the damned" to "model home"

★ D TIER: from "3 streets" to "my darling dreadful thing"

★ F TIER: from "basilisk" to "survivor song"

Cozy, Horror, Mystery, Adventure, Romance. As long as the book has shrooms as a major plot point, there is a place for it in this list.

i don't know why i am always so drawn to books that contain cannibalism. what does that say about me??? 🔪 note: it may be a spoiler to some of these books to have them listed here! please peruse at your own risk!!! these are just books that i have read but i am open to adding others!

These are various novels, fiction and non-fiction, in which grief is processed through cannibalism or cannibalism-like behavior

You won’t find any goodies in these pages. Books with the word Eater in the title.

The best of sporror AKA fungal horror for fans of The Last of Us and mushrooms.

Horror books with blue covers!

I love mushroom-related horror, and these are all the books I have found that use spores, fungus, or mushrooms as the antithesis of the book's horror.

If you want to live deliciously, you must summon the dead by reading cursed books at night, alone, with the closet door open. But don’t practice any of this in real life. Ouija boards and seances open doors to a whole host of supernatural nightmares you don’t want to invite into your personal space - best just to read about fictional people making that mistake.

Horror novels and anthologies that explore substance abuse and addiction

All things ghosts, hauntings, etc
