Publisher's summary

From the Nebula and Hugo award-winning author of The Twisted Ones, comes What Moves the Dead, a gripping and atmospheric retelling of Edgar Allan Poe's classic "The Fall of the House of Usher.”

When Alex Easton, a retired soldier, receives word that their childhood friend Madeline Usher is dying, they race to the ancestral home of the Ushers in the remote countryside of Ruritania.

What they find there is a nightmare of fungal growths and possessed wildlife, surrounding a dark, pulsing lake. Madeline sleepwalks and speaks in strange voices at night, and her brother Roderick is consumed with a mysterious malady of the nerves.

Aided by a redoubtable British mycologist and a baffled American doctor, Alex must unravel the secret of the House of Usher before it consumes them all.

Just enough horror for this faint-hearted listener

This performance had everything. Nineteenth century Manors and manners. A protagonist with wit, courage and the occasional sardonic aside. Horror enough to make me shiver.
The performance added substantially to the wit, the horror and the enjoyment.

Gothic Isn’t My Jam

Still, I really enjoy T. Kingfisher’s work! If you love gothic horror, this one might be for you! Seriously, why is it always fungus, though? 😂 Anyway, read this book. 😊
