Mushroom Blues is almost upon us, but wait, it’s not just a book! Releasing on March 19th is the official COMPANION SOUNDTRACK, which was composed/produced by the Swedish production duo Sporer. To give you a taste of this ambient soundscape, Sporer and I have come together for an official LISTENING PARTY.
My debut novel Mushroom Blues is out in just one week, and I am so excited to share the world of Neo Kinoko and The Fungalverse with readers. Humans are very good at accumulating information, and when it comes to creativity, everything an individual spews out is an amalgamation of the things they consume that inspire them. From movies to TV shows, video games, and books, there are just so many incredible stories and properties out there. So, to give all of you a deeper sense of Mushroom Blues, I’ve compiled a list of my nine biggest inspirations for this story, its world, and its characters.
