Acerca de esta escucha

"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.

Poor Narration

I'm a big T. Kingfisher fan and I loved the actual story. I downloaded it from Kindle because I could no longer stand to LISTEN to the narrator.

Instead of a performance, it sounded like someone doing an exercise for beginner elocution lessons.

Delightfully creepy

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

Very eerie.

This is the first time I’ve listened to an audiobook and thought to myself “there is no way I would have enjoyed this so much if I had read it myself.” Definitely worth it. I was genuinely terrified at times. Wanted to crawl out of my skin at others.

Great Rendition

Horror isn't my usual genre, but this was very well done! I've never read The Fall of the House of Usher, but after looking at a summary, this seems to be a great expanded-upon rendition, and I like how Kingfisher brings a plausible explanation to the sickness. Overall a great, short read.

Creepy, yet entertaining!

This book is greatly horrific! I kept wanting to find out what happens. The characters are very well written and the storyline is really good. I like how at one point the main character was slightly paranoid and it made me feel the same. Intensity at its finest!

Ew

Pardon me while I go boil my skin. Can't tell if I love it or want to burn my phone. Both?
