A marvellous retelling of “The Fall of the House of Usher” with a twist on gender and the destructive aspect of nature upon the human body, this is one of the most spooky books I have read this year. I will never look at hares the same way again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.75/5

T. Kingfisher could write “The Fall of the House of Usher,” but Edgar Allan Poe could never write “What Moves the Dead”

This book is the definition of a perfect horror book. The plot coudve been predicted but it turned out to be even worse! The writer described the characters pain perfectly and described details in a perfect way. Definitly a 5 star read.
