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.

He’s a Fun-guy
A good take on an older book. It could almost be a prequel to The Last of Us.
I like creepy kinda stories like this. I just wanted all of them to get “ infected. “

captivating and creepy
I really enjoyed this book, even though it was creepy and unnerving at times. The characters were compelling and the fungi was both scary and incredible

Great and unsettling
Short and sweet, the characters are great and the performance really bring it to life. Interesting historical themes as well, Galacia was fun flavour. The horror elements are really well done too. Rarely do I feel that the experience of a novel is enhanced by the audiobook form, but here I do.

“We have Mexican Gothic at home”
Not a bad listen, however, having already read Mexican Gothic I found it hard to fall in love with this story, which saddens me because I LOVE Poe and was excited to read this as it’s based on The Fall of the House of Usher.
I appreciate the author’s note acknowledging the likeness to Mexican Gothic and I’d like to think that if I hadn’t read Mexican Gothic first, this book would have rated higher for me.

Such a hideous little niche
Old world, new horrors. I'm a longtime fan of T Kingfisher, the male perspective is quaint.
Cosy, chilly, and adorably grotesque.
