The Book of Spores cover

A Fungal FanFiAddict Anthology

Across dimensions, it creeps and consumes.

Hidden in the vaults of a world-spanning library lie the records of a mysterious book, one made of mold and magic. Varied accounts of its existence remain scattered throughout the multiverse, but when an archivist attempts to bring its pages together, she will learn how dangerous a book—and her own ambitions—can be . . .

Collecting fungal tales from across countless universes, this FanFiAddict anthology spotlights the best of fantasy, science fiction, and horror, ready to spread across the multiverse like spores. Delve into sixteen strange stories by authors from the FanFiAddict book blog and SFF Addicts Podcast, and prepare for your imagination to be colonized by The Book of Spores.
