 Splendid Magazine reviews Robert Devereux: Fungicide
Just as most fantasy authors create painstakingly detailed worlds in order to give their stories an aura of legitimacy, Fungicide utilizes natural sounds and handmade instruments intertwined with electronic noises and cleverly manipulated samples to evoke a similarly all-encompassing vibe.
It's as though Devereux is trying to build the world from the ground up, but the results are uneven, unfriendly and uncivilized -- albeit highly listenable. On the first-person narrative "The Exchange", the "instruments" are all derived from vocal samples run through several levels of post-production to approximate the sounds of guitars, drums, etcetera.
Although Robert Devereux may have conceived Fungicide as an ode to an author he greatly admired, VanderMeer himself should be flattered by the depth, breadth and quality of the work.
