elly29 's review for:

What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher
3.25
dark mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Satisfyingly creepy. I liked the villain, the "sworn soldier" and the approach to pronouns, and overall the sense of dread.

It's been a while since I've read "The Fall of the House of Usher," and this is less Gothic than Poe's original story. Perhaps "What Moves the Dead" is... sinister goblincore?
