Idk what to think about the fungus & Howard's immortality. A part of me wishes that the Doyle family was trying to achieve immortality through the fungi. The revelations were abrupt. It was as if the author took a shortcut to story's climax.
It's also funny that the author calls this a rational explanation for Catalina's worsening mental state. Ghosts seem like a more rational answer than immortality through fungi.

I like that the author's descriptive & doesn't shy away from adding more to the imagery. I still can't get used to the pompous dialogue—it makes me forget that this story takes place in MX. Idk if that has to do w/ 1950s & modern social class disparities or if it's the author's language choice. It becomes distracting sometimes, takes me out of the moment, & makes the story try too hard to be like classic gothic lit.
