Botanist Gregor Sandys and his taxidermist partner Simon Rievaulx live together in a garden. Gregor receives a mycelium that is really smart and decides to put it in a human corpse. Their housekeeper is grieving the death of her friend Constance. These four characters become a family. 

I really enjoyed this and I'm glad I took my time with it. It is so gothic and so unapologetically queer. I will definitely read more of Noah Medlock's books. :)
