I keep going back and forth with a 3 or 4 star review on this one. It's such a wild f*cking ride. I want to know where I heard about it to put it on my TBR. It's definitely a very well done look into addiction and the worst kind of addiction, what if death isn't the end?
I'll keep it at 4 stars.... I just.... Wow. Too many mushrooms making people be dead but alive. I might have nightmares.

Interesting premise, but didn’t deliver.
I like mushroom-based horror, and there were some really freaky parts with great descriptions.The parts where the ectoplasm climbs up their throats were my favourite. Really nauseating.
I feel like the writing style didn’t totally mesh with me. There were a lot of American historical references, which aren’t really my thing since I’m not American and don’t know much about their history. It also felt a bit out of place with the rest of the story.
I didn’t like the frequent writings of “coochie coochie coo”, so weird. Also, none of the characters were likeable.

i don’t know. it made me viscerally uncomfortable but it was definitely interesting. the fact that the author did so much actual research was very cool

Intense book but I didn't love the ending. I feel like it could have ended before the epilogue and I would have been happy with that.

This was one of the better books I read in 2022, and while it had some minor issues here and there, it's difficult not to come away with some lasting visuals that stick with you. It's a unique idea used to good effect, both intriguing and a little chilling.
The concept was so cool and promising, only for it to turn out as some Fight Club wannabe about literal drug addiction
