If you want a classic ‘trapped in the woods’ with a fun fungi twist and a little bit of queer love, this is your story! A simultaneously cute and spooky read.

September 2023. Quick little spooky read with a queer lead about a group of friends who get lost while traveling in the woods.

This was good, but not great. Very short so I’d say borrow not buy on this one, but glad I read it.
Borrowed on Hoopla.

It was a bit tense and scary but honestly you could see exactly where it was going the whole time. Not bad, but nothing extraordinary. Art was ok.

Nature horror! Quick graphic novel, not my favorite art ever seen, but a spooky story.
