What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher
4.0

A retelling of Edgar Allan Poes “Fall of the House of Usher.” I am not familiar with the story, so I went into this with no preconceived ideas.

In the countryside of Ruravia, the wildlife (mostly hares) and people are acting peculiar. We follow a retired soldier, Easton who is helping piece together what could be affecting their town and what is moving the dead.

Enjoyable novella, kind of eerie with a dark academia feel. Very on brand for Kingfisher if you’re familiar with her other books.
