Özet
 From the Nebula and Hugo award-winning author of The Twisted Ones, comes What Moves the Dead, a gripping and atmospheric retelling of Edgar Allan Poe's classic "The Fall of the House of Usher.”

When Alex Easton, a retired soldier, receives word that their childhood friend Madeline Usher is dying, they race to the ancestral home of the Ushers in the remote countryside of Ruritania.

What they find there is a nightmare of fungal growths and possessed wildlife, surrounding a dark, pulsing lake. Madeline sleepwalks and speaks in strange voices at night, and her brother Roderick is consumed with a mysterious malady of the nerves.

Aided by a redoubtable British mycologist and a baffled American doctor, Alex must unravel the secret of the House of Usher before it consumes them all.©2022 Ursula Vernon (P)2022 W. F. Howes Ltd Gothic Horror Korkutucu

Absolutely stunning reworking of The Fall of the House of Usher, brilliant and I loved it. Easton was a brilliant addition, as was missing Potter and I loved the nod to Beatrix. Really enjoyed, thank you for writing it.

Great story and solid narration, although one character's accent changes abruptly an hour and a half from the end.

A great new twist on Poe

I love T Kingfisher books and was pleased to see this one available in the Plus catalogue.

I hadn’t read The Fall of the House of Usher so I wasn’t familiar with the plot, but I really enjoyed the direction of the story and T Kingfisher’s style of writing. Overall, I thought it was a really refreshing horror story and I was gripped throughout.

My only criticism is that I was a bit put off by the narrator. It did make sense to have a male narrator once I realised the main character was non-binary but I don’t understand why someone with such a strong American accent would have been chosen to narrate this book when the character is from a fictional country which is so critical of Americans and the story was set in England! There’s an American character in the story too, so it just made no sense to me. It didn’t spoil the overall impact of the audiobook but I think someone with a softer accent would have brought more to the narrative.

Brilliant short story, very gripping - but wasn’t keen on the narrator

Well. Wow. Great story. Okay narrative. Really horrible at times in a very good way. Made me feel sick at times. A different narrator I’d give it 5. He wasn’t bad. But could have been better. What a find though.

Superb story

Great short-ish story to listen to especially on gloomy January days. I haven't actually read The Fall of The House of Usher so can't compare and contrast, but I enjoyed this listen in its own right.
The narrator has a great voice and his Scottish accent seemed pretty good... however the voice of Mrs Potter CHANGED! She was a country lady to begin with (though not entirely sure what accent it was supposed to be) then towards the end she turned into a posh lady with Queens English pronunciation. This spoiled it for me tbh!

Short and spooky
