Fruiting Bodies and Other Fungi
"Large helpings of old-fashioned atmospheric terror in tales that recall H. P. Lovecraft and the Weird Tales authors" from the Grand Master of Horror ( Library Journal). Spanning nearly twenty years in Lumley's career, this "witch's dozen" of his best, most frightening tales includes "The Viaduct," where two young boys learn the truth about fear and death. The title story, "Fruiting Bodies," in which a small village disappears, won the British Fantasy Award. Also included in this terrifying collection is an introduction by Lumley in which he discusses violence in horror fiction. This collection of frightening tales is sure to keep even the bravest reader awake at night.
