    This is so charming so far. I'm a little scared for the characters but excited to read more of the story!

    I enjoyed the vibes but I think the writing made things pretty confusing. Fabulous concept, enjoyed reading it, but there were some parts that help flat.

    Wowie wowie wowie A beautiful combination of "hard" science and "soft" science (both ridiculous terms). This read was a bit daunting at first as I have a difficult time understanding math and physics, but once Dr.Prescod-Weinstein began making connections to considerations in the social sciences, things clicked for me. A very insightful read that I think everyone who's into science or culture/society should read!

    A good read! More discussions on industry and economics than I expected but I was delighted to learn about matsutake in all of the ways.

    Oh my god, such a beautiful little story about what gives life meaning, joy, and purpose. This had me tearing up as I read it.

    I won an advanced reader copy of this book in a giveaway, so thank you so much to Goodreads and Tor publishing for the ARC! I had such a blast reading this book. I love the horror genre in general but my eyes are always on the lookout for some good ecohorror. There is a lot of intrigue in the book, so many different things to get you hooked so that you keep turning the page. I really enjoyed the setting, the characters, and the nature of the book! Wagner was super descriptive throughout the story so it was easy to imagine all of the horrors happening, which is always a plus. I definitely recommend giving this a read if you like horror or ecohorror/body rot!
