Death Spore/Fungus is a fun, quick, guilty little read. Set in England, Knight tells the story of a fungal research experiment gone awry, causing all the different fungi around us every day to grow uncontrollably, threatening to take over the whole country. It is up to Barry Wilson to track down his wife, Jane, head of the fungus research project, and to try to find a way to stop the plague. Knightâs book moves along at a nice pace. Clive Barker liked the novel.
