The Nine Biggest Inspirations for Mushroom Blues

March 12, 2024 by Adrian M. Gibson Leave a Comment

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.
