About this listen

The follow-up to T. Kingfisher's bestselling gothic novella, What Moves the Dead.

Retired soldier, Alex Easton, returns in a horrifying new adventure.

After their terrifying ordeal at the Usher manor, Alex Easton feels as if they just survived another war. All they crave is rest, routine, and sunshine, but instead, as a favor to Angus and Miss Potter, they find themself heading to their family hunting lodge, deep in the cold, damp forests of their home country, Gallacia.

In theory, one can find relaxation in even the coldest and dampest of Gallacian autumns, but when Easton arrives, they find the caretaker dead, the lodge in disarray, and the grounds troubled by a strange, uncanny silence. The villagers whisper that a breath-stealing monster from folklore has taken up residence in Easton's home. Easton knows better than to put too much stock in local superstitions, but they can tell that something is not quite right in their home. . . or in their dreams.

The wry, pessimistic, careworn narration is so good, and so perfect for this tale of creepy, creeping, unsettling presence. Is it as outright horrifying as the first book? No, but it builds on each character and recalls the horror just as you begin to relax

Fitting, creepy, brilliant sequel

I’m a fan of Kingfisher’s work and loved What Moves the Dead, but this was just a bit underwhelming. It might have been more atmospheric if I didn’t have to play it on x2.5 to get through it, it’s just okay really. It’s very light on the horror and very heavy on the slow burn inner dialogue and then it kinda just…ends.

The story is pretty lacklustre, but it’s only short, so I’d say it’s worth giving it a shot if like me, you like What Moves the Dead and Kingfisher’s writing, just don’t expect it to be their best work. Maybe wait for a sale.

To paraphrase the book: it isn’t bad, but it is fairly monotonous.

Underwhelming

The narration for this is awful, it completely ruins the atmosphere and misrepresents the characters. So disappointing as I loved the first book. This book feels plodding and grating without any spooky atmosphere or intrigue. It’s hard to judge how much of that is the fault of the writer or the narrator, but I’d suggest buying the paper copy of this if you enjoyed the first book.

Why oh why did they change the narrator?

This was a good follow up and I'm glad we got to see the hike town of Alex. The story was great and we got to meet some new characters in a unique location. The narrator was good, I know it was a change up but I enjoy the performance a little more.

Fantastic Next Installment

I was really put off by the change in narrator between book 1 and 2 as I’d associated the first lot of voices with the characters

Why did the narrator change??
