Parasite Book Two; Parasite Regained — D.M. Mitchell

A companion volume to the Parasite novella, penned by diverse hands. By the end of the first book, the world we know had ruptured, infiltrated by an alien language that rewrote the subtext of existence. The pieces in this book take threads from the narrative and follow them to strange places; characters mutate and subconscious desires warp and twist like fungoid growths. The picaresque tone of Parasite has darkened considerably.
