What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher (Sworn Soldier #1) - $2.99

A gripping and atmospheric reimagining of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher” from Hugo, Locus, & Nebula award-winning author T. Kingfisher

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.

JaymesRS,

T. Kingfisher is one of the more recent authors that joined the list of people I read first. She does 2 styles of fiction for older readers (she also does YA as Ursula Vernon), Horror and Fantasy (often but not always Romantasy). And they are both really well written and enjoyable.
