Details

This listing is for the exclusive OwlCrate limited editions of the Sworn Soldier Set by T. Kingfisher!

Created in collaboration with bestselling author T. Kingfisher, the Sworn Soldier book series is a set of Gothic horror novellas—the first book being a retelling of "The Fall of the House of Usher."

This set includes:

  • What Moves the Dead
  • What Feasts at Night
  • What Stalks the Deep

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.

    Stunning - No Notes

    I just love these. The story and writing were great for all three (though books 1&2 were tied for my favorite and I liked book 3 slightly less, I’d recommend all three easily). The auditions are absolutely beautiful. Just note that these are novellas (roughly 150-200 pages each), so they’re pretty small. But they’re genuinely gorgeous.
