What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher ★★★☆☆

Alex Easton, a sworn soldier, hurries to visit kan dying friend Madeline.

I usually love Kingfisher #books, but I was quite indifferent to this one. A retelling of “The Fall of the House of Usher”, by Edgar Allan Poe, but Kingfisher gives various characters more depth.

I tend to avoid horror, being too terrified, or completely unmoved by the various ghastly happenings. This novella is of the latter type. I didn’t find it creepy at all, & there was no mystery.

However, I did enjoy the Gothic Horror aesthetic, and found the idea of Gallacian having seven sets of personal pronouns interesting, particularly the inclusion of a solider-specific one.

I’ll probably read the sequels eventually, but I’m not rushing off to do so. All in all, it was fine. (2/2)
