November Book: What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher

Hello everyone,

Our book for November will be What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher a.k.a Ursula Vernon - Winner of the Locus Award for Best Horror Novel 2023 and finalist for the Hugo Award for Best Novella 2023.

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 Ruravia.
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.

Please read the book if you are coming (this seems obvious, but we have had people who hadn't read the book at all, it will be difficult to enjoy the discussions if you don't, it's ok if you haven't finished it!)
