Wow wowwowow. This is a fantastic piece of sci-fi horror, and it would make a SPECTACULAR miniseries.
Deeply character driven and atmospheric, equally heart-wrenching and terrifying. I love the pared down cast - I haven't read many books with just two characters that had such a deep, intense focus and I really enjoyed it.
And of course don't forget the spooky glowing mushrooms.
Can't wait to read Caitlin Starling's entire bibliography.

And I started it because I'm working on a big Magnus Archives book recommendation list based on entities and I just wanted a taste to make sure it was right and then I got sucked in. IT'S SO GOOD
