A marvellous retelling of “The Fall of the House of Usher” with a twist on gender and the destructive aspect of nature upon the human body, this is one of the most spooky books I have read this year. I will never look at hares the same way again.

This read very YA/middle grade, I'm not sure if that was the intention. The characters were very underdeveloped (but with so much potential!) and the plot had the slow start and abrupt ending that books aimed at younger readers often have. It was amusing and the images it conjures up were vivid and well thought out.

This book has it all... gender fuckery... sentient fungi...

So much fun. Imagery that will stick with me for awhile.
