Recs if you like The Girl with All the Gifts ...

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

When the pursuit of knowledge crosses the line into moral depravity.

forever chasing the high of the first three seasons of The Walking Dead 😭 books featuring zombies & the zombie apocalypse.

psa: I do not agree with Nicki minaj’s political views

as always, taking suggestions!

fiction books that feature fungus, mushrooms, or bacteria in sort sort of way! mainly horror leaning, because who isn’t scared of sentient mold?

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 :)

Horror is all the more horrifying when we experience it from the POV of children who don’t have as much agency in an adults world, and who don’t always understand why what is happening is happening, or even that it’s supposed to be bad…

Books featuring spores, molds, and fungi. Suggestions welcome.

you definitely don’t want to babysit the kids in these books!! these are some bad kids, some might even say evil kids, like they’re possessed by demons or something, think Damien from The Omen or the twins in Goodnight Mommy

as always, taking any and all suggestions!

Books that were adapted into movies (not tv shows). Let's make this list as long as possible!

(going to only add the first book in a series)

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.

Much of the Zombie genre is set in the US. This list collates zombie fiction from all over the world. Different people groups. Different mindsets. Different access to weapons & attitudes towards those weapons. A different focus on how to survive The End

Sister list to: The End of the World & After - But Not US-Centric

Fictional settings allowed. Books may cross borders, spending time in the US. Allowance made for US indigenous authors

First of a series only

Suggestions so welcome!

possession n that Most of these are recs I found on r/horrorlit so apologies if they don’t actually include possession 🫡 recs are always welcomed 🙂‍↕️

This is a list of books representing every pokemon in HeartGold and SoulSilver (So Johto+Kanto regions). For my sanity, this is one book per evo line. The list with match-ups is in the comments✊🏻💚

Zombie reading list packed with outbreaks, survival, and the occasional accidental bite. Even the apocalypse has its awkward moments.

Pre-, early and post- apocalyptic dystopias

dystopian: relating to or denoting an imagined state or society where there is great suffering or injustice.

Books in which the bad guy is really a mushroom.

By no means exhaustive. Recommendations and suggestions welcome!

Is this mostly poached from GoodReads and reddit? Yes 😊 Do I care? 😏

Bio-horror, zombies, medical experiments, folk horror & viral infections - if you have any recommendations, please lmk!!

Speculative works that form part of what I've called the "the fungal imaginary" in an academic context

For all the body horror and splatterpunk fans. Ranging from light to absolutely brutal! NOTE: Most of these are books I have read but this list is also a library of what I have yet to read. If you have suggestions, please do comment!
