Dark Spores: Stories We Tell After Midnight Volume 4 - Paperback

Enter the dark, mycelia-laden world of mushroom horror:

• A food blogger hunts for a killer recipe.
• Ceaseless rain drives a lonely man into his fungus-covered town.
• A grieving son purchases a kit to regrow his dead mother.

Here you'll find 31 stories and 5 poems of quiet, cosmic, and body horror-plus subtle humor. Works examine themes of loneliness, desire, consumption, and connection with what lurks in the shadows.

Edited by Carol Gyzander and Rachel A. Brune, Dark Spores is the fourth volume in the Stories We Tell After Midnight horror series. Devour these stories-before they devour you!
