Act of God by Jill Cement is slim novel about a glowing mushroom found in a corner of a closet in Brooklyn that turns into a super mold that destroys blocks of the city, leaving many homeless and some dead.
Part comedy, part horror story, and totally original, it is really the story of a small group of people coming together and what it means to be a family. I found it so compelling that I couldn't put it down until I was finished. However, I was disappointed that so many characters fates were left hanging at the end. It felt more like a short story than a novel.
