The table of contents for the upcoming Fungi anthology is ready to see the light. But before that, a plea: Please continue to help us compile our Fungi database! We want to know about all the speculative books, movies and other media featuring fungi of any sort. We have a spreadsheet, which you can fill out here. Please be sure to see what material we already have in there by clicking here.

I just have to reiterate that the cover art is amazing. I am looking forward to the first Innsmouth Free Press hc book, the first of many I hope.
Thank you! We are very happy to be doing a special hardcover edition with the extra stories and some illustrations. We hope that will make it a keepsake worth paying an extra price for.
The hardcover sounds like a “must have”! The only thing that saddens me about this post is learning that I have to wait until Fall! Looking forward to it!
Oh that cover art is great!
