  The Armillaria Bulbosa is an underground fungus that lives beneath the surface of the earth in a huge forest near Crystal Falls, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. 
       It was born over two thousand years ago. And with each passing year, it grew. 
       Time passed, and the Armillaria continued to develop, to expand underground. Feeding…and growing. 
       It still lives today, after centuries. It lies beneath the ground, an unseen, unbelievable monstrosity: thirty-eight acres wide, four hundred tons heavy. It is one of the largest and oldest living things on Earth. And while the Armillaria Bulbosa is found in various places of the world, this particular growth and unique location is the focus of this story. The Armillaria Bulbosa, in the western portion of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, is enormous. It is hidden. It is…a beast. And yet, very few people even know that it’s there. 
       But it has been growing…and growing...and waiting. 
  And for Josh Reese and his friend, Katie, the horror is far greater than they could have possibly imagined.

  Zanzibar Tales

  If you have read any accounts of adventure in Africa, you will know that travelers never mention animals of any kind that are gifted with the faculty of speech, or gazelles that are overseers for native princes, or hares that eat flesh. No, indeed; only the native-born know of these; and, judging by the immense and rapid strides civilization is making in those parts, it will not be long before such wonderful specimens of zoölogy will be as extinct as the ichthyosaurus, dinornis, and other poor creatures who never dreamed of the awful names that would be applied to them when they were too long dead to show their resentment. As to the truth of these tales, I can only say that they were told to me, in Zanzibar, by negroes whose ancestors told them to them, who had received them from their ancestors, and so back; so that the praise for their accuracy, or the blame for their falsity, lies with the first ancestor who set them going. You may think uncivilized negroes are pretty ignorant people, but the white man who is supposed to have first told the story of “The House that Jack Built” was a mighty poor genius compared with the unknown originator of “Goso, the Teacher,” who found even inanimate things that were endowed with speech, which the pupils readily understood and were not astonished to hear; while “Puss in Boots” was not one-half so clever as the gazelle that ran things for Haamdaanee. It would be a severe task to rattle off “Goso” as you do “The House that Jack Built.” (Summary by the author)
