Summary: "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."

What they find there is a nightmare of fungal growths and possessed wildlife, surrounding a dark, pulsing lake.
