I’ve been reading “The Gutter Prayer” by Gareth Hanrahan (recommended), and there’s a disease in the world that slowly turns the sufferer to stone. What other books feature unusual diseases?
I’m mostly looking for fantastic imaginary diseases (fantasy genre), …so for example “The Book of ‘M'” or “The Girl with all the Gifts”
…but suggestions along the lines of “Station 11,” “Andromeda Strain” or “The Cobra Event” would be welcome also.

The Draconic Plague in Samantha Shannon’s Roots of Chaos series (*Priory of the Orange Tree* and *A Day of Fallen Night*)
{{The Cursed, by Dave Duncan}} the whole story revolves around the few survivors or the “star-sickness”, which survival grants dualist powers. As in the healer also kills, seems to be sort of random which happens.
