Ghost Eaters by Clay McLeod Chapman

3.5

---

I really liked most of this book, including the very ending; I particularly liked some of the gory and straight up horrifying imagery (the growing mold, the eyeballs, the desperate cannibalism, the basement mushrooms). It does however commit the fatal flaw of not trusting the reader to be smart enough and over explaining itself. You don’t need a thesis statement that ghosts are people’s addictions - we get it!! Could go without most of the epilogue tbh
