Summary
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.

Underwhelming
I’m a fan of Kingfisher’s work and loved What Moves the Dead, but this was just a bit underwhelming. It might have been more atmospheric if I didn’t have to play it on x2.5 to get through it, it’s just okay really. It’s very light on the horror and very heavy on the slow burn inner dialogue and then it kinda just…ends.
The story is pretty lacklustre, but it’s only short, so I’d say it’s worth giving it a shot if like me, you like What Moves the Dead and Kingfisher’s writing, just don’t expect it to be their best work. Maybe wait for a sale.
To paraphrase the book: it isn’t bad, but it is fairly monotonous.
