    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!

    It was fine at first and then I just really didn't want to read it anymore. I did finish it to give it a chance to pull me in again. I wasn't invested in any of the characters or the plot, which was pretty predictable. For a lot of the book I felt like I was in some shitty visual novel where I'm just clicking to get through the mundane filler scenes to get to something that matters.
