Fungoid

De: William Meikle

Narrado por: David A. Wood

When the end came, it wasn’t zombies, asteroids, global warming, or nuclear winter. It was something that escaped from a lab. Something small, and very hungry.

It starts with deadly rain that delivers death where it falls, but soon the whole planet is under threat as the infection spreads, consuming everything before it.

A band of survivors on the Eastern coast of Canada watch as their world falls and crumbles to ruin. The infection seems relentless. More than that, it seems to be learning, adapting, and evolving faster than they can fight it. Worse still - it is infecting not just their bodies, but is creeping into their minds, dancing in their dreams.

Can they stop it before it takes them?

Or must they all join in the final dance of death?

Good old fashioned horror

I don't know when this book was written but it had a rather old fashioned feel. I could imagine it as some kind of horror film classic. Huge mutant fungus spitting spore at the world. All good fun!

Different take on an apocalypse

The story was excellent, really digging into a basic level scientific research on how the fungoid functions and adapts. Woods narration was okay, but the conversations didn't have the right kinds of inflections and variation that normal people have when they're talking. The accent of a major character was off as well. But as far as basic narration goes, it was easy to listen to.

Solid but a little Short Horror Story

This story has the horror and the crushing atmosphere of a planet under siege by some kind of fungus down. The author explores it in a number of different ways with characters ranging from scientists, to people seeking their families, to the kinds of people who take catastrophic events and make them worse. To that end it's an interesting character study and it starts pretty fantastically going into everything without too much info dump. But the end of it seems to speed up a bit and while the ending is something I can appreciate I feel like I wanted to see a little more of what was going on. However it's still good, narrated great, and will definitely scratch that old school creepy crawly horror itch you might be harboring.
