Another literary pick for the summer months with a mushroom feel is the collection of short stories entitled Fruiting Bodies by Kathryn Harlan.
With a beautiful cover depicting some exotic mushrooms on the front cover the Canadian writer’s collection has an apparently fantastic theme.
“This genre-bending debut collection of stories constructs eight eerie worlds full of desire, wisdom, and magic blooming amidst decay.
In stories that beckon and haunt, Fruiting Bodies ranges confidently from the fantastical to the gothic to the uncanny as it follows characters on the precipice of change. Echoes of timeless myth and folklore reverberate through urgent narratives of discovery, appetite, and coming-of-age in a time of crisis.”
