Great short read for Halloween. The gothic haunted manor vibes were awesome, the inclusion of fungi as a horror mechanism worked really well with the setting and the main character was funny and likeable. This author is good at creating spooky stories with frequent funny dialogue in the middle which I like because it breaks the tension and makes the characters more likeable. The ending felt rushed and a bit unsatisfying but I understand this wasn't supposed to be an incredibly developed story. Reccomend if you're looking for a quick spooky read.
