5.0

T. Kingfisher's What Moves the Dead is a horrific retelling of Edgar Allen Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher complete with an old dilapidated home, mycological nightmares, and unusual hares. With only 176 pages, What Moves the Dead sparks terror on a strict word budget. If you're looking for a quick endcap to your October reading list, pick this one up.
