In a nutshell, a slow-burn horror on the anxiety and terror of dying alone and fear of not relying on your perception of reality.
It's sad when an elderly person has no family and is just left to live out their days being taken care of by paid employees. This book delves into one woman's story who never had a family and looks back on her life with some regret as she starts to notice how she's aging. And then an accident at home forces her to move into a home. Soon, she starts noticing the staff at her nursing home behave oddly and thinks they're making her and the other residents sick. And then she sees the fungus.
This book was well-written, and I won't be surprised if I'm still thinking about it a week from now.

I have no idea how to rate this. 1 star? 5 star? I really do not know. But I finished it a few days ago and I'm still thinking about what it meant, what was going on, which is rare for me.
OK, I'm going with 4 stars. Or maybe 5? Aaaahhhh!
