Summary

"The audiobook narrated by Avi Roque is delightful." - Buzzfeed

"Narrator Avi Roque delivers a perfectly paced performance in this concise audiobook...holding listeners hostage until the house reveals its terrifying secrets." -AudioFile Magazine

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."

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.

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire.

this book is literal art. I loved it since the beginning to the end. the main character is fascinating, I love her humoristic personality that makes you go through a rollercoaster of emotions in the middle of panic and fear. the descriptions are so well done that you actually feel them, as if you were in the book. the small hints that start making sence little by little are amazing. the cover of the book is so divinely beautiful too. and I also really enjoyed the way it was read, the voice was perfect and the voice changes fit so well the characters. in conclusion PERFECT.

mostly mystery, fear and hints of fun too

This author is absolutely wonderful and this series deserves better. I’m sure Avi Roque would be fine paired with another story but this pairing is an absolutely terrible fit.

The Narrator Is Abysmal
