What Moves the Dead by T Kingfisher

An instant USA Today & Indie bestseller

From T. Kingfisher, the 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.

*A very special hardcover edition, featuring foil stamp on the casing and custom endpapers illustrated by the author.*

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.

Ursula Vernon, a North Carolina-based author, goes by the pen name T.Kingfisher. She has been nominated for the Hugo, Sequoyah, Nebula, Alfie, WSFA, Cóyotl, and Ursa Major awards, as well as a half-dozen Junior Library Guild picks, and has won the Hugo, Sequoyah, Nebula, Alfie, WSFA, Cóyotl, and Ursa Major awards. This is the name she goes by when she writes for adults. Many fairy-tale retellings and strange short stories about elves and goblins are among her works.

She's probably out in the garden, attempting to make eye contact with butterflies while she's not writing. Redwombat Studio can be found at www.redwombatstudio.com.
