Outhouse Book Club: November 2026 Session
About this Event
The Outhouse Book Club returns on Wednesday, 11th November, at 6:30pm, where we’re reading the award-winning horror novella: “What Moves the Dead” by T. Kingfisher.
Title: What Moves the Dead
Author: T. Kingfisher
Length: ~170 pages
Description:
As a child, Alex Easton, who uses the pronouns ka and kan, befriended twins Roderick and Madeline Usher and went on to serve with Roderick in the recent war. Now Madeline writes to tell Alex that she’s ill and Roderick believes she is dying, and Alex must come at once to their family home in remote Ruravia.
There, Alex finds a moldering mansion full of fungal rot and strangeness and two Ushers who are terribly, irreversibly changed. Alex must unravel the dark secret that is consuming the house of Usher—before it consumes Alex as well.
A retelling of the classic short story “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allen Poe set in the mid-1800’s, Kingfisher adds a wonderful dimension and tangibility to the classic story. Filling it in with standout character work and scenic descriptions that linger on the palate, while fleshing out the original plot with elements as plausible as they are chilling.
