Meet in Barbara's Bookstore on Tuesday, October 20th to discuss T. Kingfisher's novella, "What Moves the Dead"! Our book club will go from 6:30pm-7:30pm. "What Moves the Dead" is 20% off at our store all month long if you need to grab a copy. Reading/finishing the book is not required, just come to chat! Feel free to call the store to see if we have any copies available and place what you need on hold!
To get a feel for the book, here's the jacket description:
""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."
