- Graham returns to Derry and Toms to pick up the chat regarding another Uncosy Catastrophe, on this occasion recommended by listener Paul Miles... 1985's The Fungus by Harry Adam Knight, a book that somehow passed us by despite being firmly in our wheelhouse.
Exploding landlords, extremely poor mission personnel choices, sweaty liaisons and deeply unfortunate children await in this tale of an England overwhelmed by scientifically boosted mycelium.
Came here after finishing the audiobook, had a great time listening!
Stumbled across your channel after getting the Fungus on audiobook
Great stuff 👍👍
Thank you! We always enjoy looking at these books. And The Fungus was entirely new to me.
Hi ya guys. . That was absolutely brilliant.. Made me chuckle. Glad you enjoyed the book, and thought it 'worthy' of a review on your channel.. Look forward to more 'crab' and 'Britain is f****d' reviews... No one does it better than us Brits. 😊🇬🇧. Ha ha.. laters guys.
Thanks for the recommendation, really enjoyed it!
Hi chaps. Really enjoyed this, a great listen. I could be mis-remembering some of the specifics here, but I'm sure that one of HAK's books (possibly Carnosaur) had a quote on the front saying something to the effect of, "The New Stephen King!" ...with the quote attributed to Starburst magazine. The *actual* quote was, of course, from John Brosnan himself in his excellent, "It's Only A Movie" column in the magazine where he'd written something like, "I might describe Harry Adam Knight as the new Stephen King ...after having had several whiskys just before falling off my barstool." Happy days.
Ha... What a brilliant story!
@@breakfastintheruinspodcast I just checked - turns out it was actually an '80s paperback print of ...The Fungus!
Charnel House! One of my best memories of Graham Masterton.
I've been trying to convince Phil we should cover it.
@@breakfastintheruinspodcast I 'borrowed' it today from Internet Archive and read in about 90 minutes. A lot of native legend packed in reminiscent of Manitou. It dates itself a little in certain areas but no irrelevant bonking, moist triangles or quivering thighs in sight!
Sounds like Karl pilkingtom ❤
