Über diesen Titel

"The audiobook narrated by Avi Roque is delightful." - Buzzfeed

"Narrator Avi Roque delivers a perfectly paced performance in this concise audiobook...holding listeners hostage until the house reveals its terrifying secrets." -AudioFile Magazine

From T. Kingfisher, the award-winning author of The Twisted Ones, comes What Moves the Dead, a gripping and atmospheric retelling of Edgar Allan Poe's classic "The Fall of the House of Usher."

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 Ruritania.

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.

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire.

Clearly based on “The fall of the house of Usher”, the story is still entertaining and delightfully mysterious with a touch of horror. The narration leaves a lot to be desired, though. Due to a strong vocal fry, endings of words frequently were so low they were basically inaudible. In addition, the narrator displayed an odd pattern of stressing words within sentences that seemed like they had read the sentence for the first time, slightly misplaced the emphasis but did not bother to do a second take. It made it hard to listen to a lot of the time, unfortunately.

Good story

Interesting story, but awful narration. If you have 5 hours to spare you could definitely do worse.
