T. Kingfisher's What Moves the Dead
Normally I’ll read anything Kingfisher writes, but I’m a giant wuss and the cover of this book scared me!! But she did a reading from the sequel recently and that and the way she talked about the series made me want to read it, so here we are. It’s a take on The Fall of the House of Usher, set in the 1800s in a made-up European country, and involves a solder (from a country where soldiers have their own set of pronouns) going to visit some old friends who are ill. I will say this is not jump scare kind of horror, but it is very eerie and also gross!!! But I do love Kingfisher's writing. A-/B+.
