The Fungus

De: Harry Adam Knight

Narrado por: Ian Pringle

When a brilliant scientist seeking to solve the problem of world hunger tries to create giant mushrooms through genetic manipulation, what could possibly go wrong?

The mutated spores escape the lab and spread across all of England. Toadstools grow to 20 feet tall, and a case of athlete's foot can mean a grisly and horrible death.

But those who die quickly are the lucky ones. Those who survive infection by the fungus will be transformed into something unthinkably monstrous...

With a perfect mix of nightmarish horror and black humor, Harry Adam Knight's cult classic The Fungus (1985) will grow on you.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A spectacularly gruesome nasty, written with inventiveness, grisly wit, and considerably more intelligence than almost any of its competitors." - (Ramsey Campbell"

"Loud, scary, silly, sick fun ... you will never again go near mushroom soup." (Kirkus Reviews)

"A first-rate and vivid thriller." (Publishers Weekly)

A work of art

This story was truly amazing to listen to, which had me glued all the way to the end. loved the way the story went from the beginning to the end.

Excellent read

Immensely enjoyed The Fungus... Great story which I could see being made into on hell of a story. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

The perfect summer listen

A perfect example of 1980's paperback horror. A lot of action, a little sex and whole lot of disguting apocalyptic monsters. Fast, fun and suspenseful, a perfect way to spend a few summer afternoons listening in my studio.

Surprisingly good!

I really thought this to be popcorn trash, but it turned out to be a lot more scary and compelling than I expected! It’s a truly horrifying concept with bonkers set pieces, and based on interesting scientific principles (which might be garbage- I have no idea). It written in the 80s but holds up pretty well (setting aside a few moments of weird misogyny), and it doesn’t overstay its welcome.

If you’re like me and you like stories about an insane uber fungus consuming the world and manipulating the minds of humanity toward it’s weird goals, you’ll love this book!

The Fungus Among Us

I was surprised by how good this book was. The narrator did a great job as well

A fun sci-fi body horror

Very entertaining! It’s like annihilation mixed with re-animator? Maybe? Either way, it’s good a good time! 👏

The Fungus

This was good! Trying to end world hunger,a scidntist invents mushrooms,until it is found to be sentient and shows its own agenda. Ian Pringle was a fine narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.'

okay

feels like a very abrupt ending. as through the author gave up trying to think of s good ending.

Gross and great

A fun and disgusting horror concept. A little rushed at the end perhaps but overall a fun read.

a real Garth Marenghi story

just as good as his other book "Slimer" but with more hairless naked flamethrower adventures
