A gentle Frankenstein. With plants.

Wonderfully playful and queer. Not as many consequences for bad decisions (of which there were many, in the best way) but an enjoyable mycelial read nonetheless.

Two strange queer dudes that have nothing in common, just the fact that they’re both odd. So that gave us this trash book! Thank you.

objectively, this was all over the place and the concept could have been interested in a much more interesting way but I had so much fun reading it that I'm choosing to turn off the more severe critical thinking parts of my brain for the time being. I had a lot of fun. Simon and Gregor are deeply weird terrible people (affectionate) and
