Everyone’s always talking about creepy sentient fungi but now I only want creepy sentient bees and aspen trees. 

This book is real good. I could not put it down and was audibly gasping towards the end. Fantastic characters, ✨immaculate✨vibes (it’s giving Midsommar), and honestly a lot scarier than most of the adult horror I read. This story will stick with me for a long time.
