Resumen del Editor

Long-listed, Barnes and Noble Best New Books of the Year, 2022

Long-listed, Library Journal Best Books of the Year, 2022

"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.

Featured Article: Mushroom Mania—11 Fantastic Listens About Fungi


Mushrooms are so much more than just a pizza topping. With new information and applications cropping up constantly, the world of fungal research is as deep and complex as mushrooms themselves. These seemingly innocent bundles of caps and stalks are just the fruiting body of a complex underground network of fungal threads called mycelia. Neither plant nor animal, the fungal kingdom lives mostly out of sight, but these days, never out of mind.

Editorial Review

How stories sustain the living dead
I’ve been asking: Do I love the gothic because I love audiobooks, or do I love audiobooks because I love gothic literature? This genre demands to be heard, as its booming claps of thunder and haunting organs creep from its pages to prey upon the darkest corners of our imaginations. So, when I learned that T. Kingfisher, author of such atmospheric works as The Hollow Places and The Twisted Ones, had plans to resurrect The Fall of the House of Usher in all its chilling glory, I knew I had to listen. This title adds unsettling depth to the ruins of Edgar Allan Poe’s original manor, reminding us in the process that so long as we keep their stories alive, the dead never have to die. — Haley H.

A good story ruined by a bad narration.

The story is a interesting and well written and I have no complaints about it,except that it's a little predictable. The narration however ruined my enjoyment of it and if it had been a longer book I wouldn't have finished it. It starts out okay, but after a while I started noticing that the narrator kept putting the emphasis on the wrong words. Not just occasionally, but almost every sentence. It's as if they are reading the book for the very first time and have no idea what's going on, sentence to sentence. Towards the end I couldn't concentrate on the story at all and just kept trying to figure out where the emphasis should be and what the meaning of each line actually was, rather than what the narrator made it seem to be.

Superb Horror Fairytale!!!

Original in every way. Great narrator. I found myself sitting in my car after I arrived at the store just so I could keep listening instead of running errands. I loved it.

A fulfilling twist on a classic tale

A scientific approach to a supernatural classic.
It left me satisfied with shivers down my spine.

The narrator is atrocious

I can’t really rate the story yet, I DNF’d this one because of the narrator. I’ll just buy the physical book and read that. I can’t get into the story because of the narration. The narrator has a gender ambiguous voice which is great for different characters but they way they over enunciate every single letter in a word to sound articulate only sounds pretentious and irritating. It’s also SO SLOW. They spend so much time trying to get every letter that had I finished, I would swear adds 45 mins to the length. Also, are there any contractions in this book??

Cool story

a less intense Lovecraft style horror, also less racist.

apparently I need 5 more words to submit a review. That should do it.

Very Different

I really didn’t like the voice actor for this book. Fell very flat for me, the story line was good. Would I read it again? No, BUT it was a good book!

Creepy! (complimentary)

A cool, fun, creepy story! The narrator was great—I especially loved the pacing of some of the big dramatic reveal and/or cliffhanger lines. You could just hear the relish in their voice. I’ll be looking for more stories from the author and the narrator!

Delightfully creepy

Engaging take on a classic tale. Echoes of Poe while remaining fresh and entertaining. Narrator was a perfect fit.
