“The prose is clean, precise, and beautiful. Its pacing is breakneck and breathless. This is a story arc that carried me through the whole gamut of emotions: horror, fear, grief, awe, resentment, empathy, love, relief.”

10/10 review of Mushroom Blues on FanFiAddict by Frasier Armitage. Read the full review here.

“[A] fast-paced narrative that brought this new, psychedelic, and gritty world to life. Mushroom Blues excelled at hitting many of the iconic beats of noir, while also turning many on their head. Overall, this debut impresses with how layered it is and, while primarily a character-driven story, the plot doesn’t lag too far behind.”

“Mushroom Blues is enthralling from the first page. Detective Hoffman takes your hand and without asking takes you on a journey through a spore and mold filled world. I for one am all for the mushroom takeover.”
