About this listen

The next novella in the New York Times bestselling Sworn Soldier series, featuring Alex Easton investigating the dark, mysterious depths of a coal mine in America.

"The third installment of [author T.] Kingfisher's Sworn Soldier series is once again masterfully performed by [narrator] Avi Roque..[his] tone suggests that true horror is about to be released."—Kirkus

"Voiced by [Avi] Roque, Alex proves an endearing and capable storyteller whose military discipline and down-to-earth manner help them keep their head amid the book's bizarre circumstances."— Library Journal

Alex Easton does not want to visit America.

They particularly do not want to visit an abandoned coal mine in West Virginia with a reputation for being haunted.

But when their old friend Dr. Denton summons them to help find his lost cousin—who went missing in that very mine—well, sometimes a sworn soldier has to do what a sworn soldier has to do...

Critic Reviews

Praise for What Moves the Dead:

“A grotesque romp! It takes up residence beneath your skin and refuses to leave.”—Caitlin Starling, USA Today bestselling author of The Death of Jane Lawrence

“Thoroughly creepy and utterly enjoyable.”—Publishers Weekly

“Creepy, claustrophobic, and completely entertaining, What Moves the Dead left me delightfully repulsed. I adored this book!”—Erin A. Craig, New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows

“T. Kingfisher spins biting wit, charm and terror into a tale that will make your skin crawl. Poe would be proud!”—Brom, author of Slewfoot

“Dissects the heart of Poe’s most famous tale and finds a wholly new mythology beating inside it. …Pure fun.”—Andy Davidson, author of The Boatman's Daughter

What Moves the Dead is a must-read, period.”—Jordan Shiveley, author of Hot Singles In Your Area

“A gothic delight!”—Lucy A. Snyder, author of Sister, Maiden, Monster

“A fluid technicolor reimagining of Poe's "House of Usher" that takes no prisoners. . . Not to be missed.”—Brian Evenson, author of Last Days

“Perfectly hair-raising in all the right ways.”—Premee Mohamed, author of Beneath the Rising
