About this listen

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.

What the critics say

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

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

Better then anything Stephen King has ever done!!!

Forget about the "OVERRATED" The Stand by Stephen King!
"The Fungus" by Harry Adam Knight is not ony 1000 times more scary, but 1000 times more beivable as well!
