Description:
In this Nebula Award-winning 2014 novel, a team of four women heads out on an expedition to study Area X, a quarantined location where nature has mutated. It went on to be made into the 2018 movie of the same name starring Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, Tuva Novotny, and Oscar Isaac. The appeal of this strange little book can be seen in how the reviews can't seem to agree on a genre: it's sci-fi horror, eco-horror, a fantasy thriller, cosmic horror, an old-fashioned gothic, weird fiction, a psychological thriller. Whatever it is, it made us never look at mushrooms the same way again.
