What Moves the Dead

By T. Kingfisher

Hardcover 

Horror

160 pages

Library 

It's a retling of Fall of the House of Usher.

It's creepy, wonderful, and horrific. 

I took longer to get into it than I would have expected, based on how interesting I thought it was, but that's also probably just because I have so much else going on.

I picked this one up on impulse when I grabbed the book club book from the library.

Mexican Gothic

By Silvia Moreno-Garcia

301 pages 

Hardback

Fiction

A Gothic novel complete with creepy house and sketchy characters. 

I picked this up yesterday, and didn't want to put it down. 

The main character is a bit flighty, but a good person. It's a struggle to figure out exactly what's going on until the author tells you.  I also have a few lingering questions about it, but nothing which disturbs my pleasure in the overall narrative.

Impressions: a good amount of mystery, a strange world, gravestones, mushrooms, and creepy vibes. 

It's a stand alone novel, and I really enjoyed it.
