A spectacular and spooky twist on a classic, with a wry vein of humor carrying through it all. Great world building, with just enough of the horror explained to make the remaining unknown extremely unsettling.

Obsessed. The quick witted gender nonconforming protagonist is an absolute delight. I will happily venture into the unknown with kan again and again. The dark gothic fungi infested mysteries of this book broke a spell of artists block for me that had gone on for over 6 months. Highly recommend if you enjoy fungi, dead things, rotting houses, and gothic mysteries.
