Why read it?
1 author picked Balam, Spring as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A slice-of-life epidemiological fantasy novel set in the small town of Balam, as it deals with a mysterious illness accompanied by strange insectoid monsters intent on stealing the corpses of the victims. One of the weirder books on the list, with a setting heavily inspired by the Final Fantasy game series and lower stakes than most of the others – but still well worth a read.
From John's list on sci-fi/fantasy about plagues and pandemics.
