🎃 Spooky Book Club: A Queer Twist on Poe’s Classic Tale 🎃

 

Get ready to dive into the eerie, unsettling world of "What Moves the Dead" by T. Kingfisher, a nonbinary reimagining of Boston-born Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher”. 🕸️📖

 

On Wednesday, October 30th, join fellow ghouls and goblins for a virtual book club that’s sure to send shivers down your spine! 👻🍂 In this modern retelling, retired soldier Alex Easton races to the decaying Usher estate, only to uncover a queer, Gothic nightmare of creeping fungi, twisted wildlife, and secrets so dark they threaten to consume everyone.

 

With queer themes at its heart and an unforgettable blend of horror, atmosphere, and dread, Kingfisher’s What Moves the Dead offers a gripping exploration of identity, transformation, and the supernatural. 🌈✨ Can Alex uncover the mystery behind the haunted Usher estate before it’s too late? Or will they, too, fall victim to the darkness?
