Great atmosphere. Perfect for cosmic horror fans, and just generally existential. I will be thinking about this for long time.

Ignore that lil bitch that says '195 pages'. This shit sticks to your esophagus on the way down. Take your time.
I liked how clinical the prose is, yet it's still enticing and draws you in. The writing is fantastic and lyrical, and I love the tiny glimmers of personality for each character. I loved the gentle use of fungi / plant horror. I appreciate the uncommon creepiness of using natural, organic materials and twisting it into something uncanny and horrifying. I wouldn't class this as straight up horror, more scifi than anything.
