all things fungal horror โค๏ธโ there are a few mushroom and cottagegore lists around, but i wanted to make a comprehensive guide to the genre! suggestions welcome :)
Sporror (Spore and Mushroom horror) New and Old
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.
fungal narratives
one day i will write a dissertation on this i swearโฆ.
Feral and Hysterical
This is a list of horror books written by women, as recommended by Sadie Hartmann (Mother Horror) in her book Feral and Hysterical. I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of Feral and Hysterical because it is so much more than a list of books. There are more lists of books, but also thoughtful essays by women writers. It's worth spending some time with Feral and Hysterical.
"Women are overqualified to write fictional horror. Period." -- Sadie Hartmann
