"Narrator Avi Roque delivers a perfectly paced performance....seamlessly switching between English, Scottish, and American accents to distinguish the variety of characters." —AudioFile on What Moves the Dead, an Earphones Award winner)
The follow-up to T. Kingfisher's bestselling gothic novella, What Moves the Dead.
Retired soldier, Alex Easton, returns in a horrifying new adventure.
After their terrifying ordeal at the Usher manor, Alex Easton feels as if they just survived another war. All they crave is rest, routine, and sunshine, but instead, as a favor to Angus and Miss Potter, they find themself heading to their family hunting lodge, deep in the cold, damp forests of their home country, Gallacia.
In theory, one can find relaxation in even the coldest and dampest of Gallacian autumns, but when Easton arrives, they find the caretaker dead, the lodge in disarray, and the grounds troubled by a strange, uncanny silence. The villagers whisper that a breath-stealing monster from folklore has taken up residence in Easton's home. Easton knows better than to put too much stock in local superstitions, but they can tell that something is not quite right in their home. . . or in their dreams.
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire.

      Narrator Avi Roque conveys all the creeping horror of this sequel to WHAT MOVES THE DEAD. Alex Easton, a retired soldier, travels to their family's hunting lodge in their damp and unwelcoming home country, Gallacia. Alex discovers the lodge cold and empty and learns that the caretaker has died under mysterious circumstances. The villagers are wary of Alex, and the lodge and land are oppressively silent. Roque lightly voices Alex's humor and dry wit and delivers the Scottish and imagined Gallacian accents. Roque ramps up the terror with a quickened pace and dramatic flair as Alex's dreams become haunted by spectral creatures. Listeners won't soon forget the gruesome sights Alex encounters.

      Kingfisher's second installment in the "Sworn Soldier" series (following What Moves the Dead) finds Alex Easton returning for another descent into gothic horror. After escaping the Usher manor, Easton travels to their family's hunting lodge in their home country of Gallacia to spend time with good friends Angus and Miss Potter. All three are looking to forget the horrors they experienced together at the manor, but Easton arrives at the lodge to find the place a mess and the caretaker dead. Villagers whisper that there's something on the property that steals the breath from one's lungs. Easton isn't one to give credence to local superstition, but they've also been having some very unusual dreams. They soon discover that superstitions and nightmares can both become terribly real. Those who've read the first book in the series will recognize the characters here, and they are just as charming as ever, thanks to Avi Roque's vocal talents. Straying from Poe's universe, Kingfisher gives readers a ghost story with some truly terrifying moments and surreal dream sequences that chill the blood. VERDICT Fans of gothic horror and Kingfisher's unique blend of horror and humor will enjoy this frightfully fun slice of Gallacian folklore.--James Gardner
