About SPORES: A Body Horror Novella (Unabridged)

Every surface drips with yellow spores, and Beatrix's father won't leave his house of horrors. In a city where fungus grows faster than fear, Beatrix Brighton is running out of time. When Beatrix Brighton—a New Hampshire professor with expertise in demonology—receives a desperate call from her father about a fungal plague consuming his home, she expects to find another easily explained phenomenon. Instead, she discovers a city in the grip of something inexplicable: toxic spores blanket every surface, buildings sprout through with yellow growths, and the residents are slowly changing, their minds colonized by something that lurks in the bayou's depths. As an expert in the occult, Beatrix knows this is no ordinary infestation. But in the heart of Louisiana's darkness, where reality melts like rot-softened flesh, she'll discover that some questions have teeth—and that knowledge can be fatal. To save her father, she'll have to confront an ancient evil that's taken root, one that's turning Baton Rouge into its own twisted nursery.
