This week on Cracked Spines, it's time to dig into Cyrus' special interests: Ted Lasso and fungus. Mostly fungus. I'd say 90 percent fungus. Cyrus explains their fascination with the organisms that are like if plants had meat and their major gripe with the current state of fungal works out there. Sarah does not wish to join the fungal hivemind but did like some of the books this week.
Works mentioned:
What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Spores by Joshua Barkman
"Lena" from Valuable Humans in Transit and Other Stories by qntm
Resident Evil 7 and 8
The Seep by Chana Porter. (Hi, Sarah here. I thought I said this during the episode and I never did and it's so important to mention: The Seep has a lot of tendrils in the ideas of fungus but is not specifically about fungus. It's technically about aliens, but it's also about most of the ideas with a fungal hivemind and I wanted to discuss it in that context, but failed to mention it's only metaphorically fungus. okay)
