WHAT MOVES THE DEAD (Dark Side of the Word Podcast)

book cover of what moves the dead by t. kingfisher

Hello, Tartlets and Darksiders! A new book club podcast episode is up on Dark Side of the Word. Join me and Kait as we discuss the Gothic horror novel What Moves the Dead, which is Book #1 in The Sworn Soldier series by T. Kingfisher.

This episode is a love fest for What Moves the Dead. Kait and I both really enjoyed Kingfisher’s smart, spooky, and surprisingly funny retelling of Edgar Allen Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher. We discuss Kingfisher’s clever variation on the demonic possession trope, all things fungus, and the morality of survival. We also talk about how much we loved the the non-binary main character, the rich world-building in the story, and the author’s fantastic writing style and humor.
