Rose and Nico discuss LEECH by Hiron Ennes (Tordotcom). On a post-apocalyptic earth, a sentient parasite seems to have cornered its niche by "integrating" the entire physician profession, until a chance encounter in the frozen north introduces it to an unexpectedly fierce competitor -- and humanity's will to survive. Two fungal hyphae way up!
