The Fungus

So a book about a fungal infection that gets into humans and transform them into spore producing fungal human hybrids. This sounds very familiar and at first glance could be written off as a The Girl with All the Gifts or "The Last of us" ripoff book, but wait, there is a twist. This book was written in 1985. The last of us was released in 2014 and The Girl with All the Gifts was released in 2013. That would make this book no a pathetic copy of a flavour of the month horror trope, but is instead a trail blazer.

In addition to all that, this is a good adventure book. maybe a tad dated, but quite enjoyable non the less.
