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.

    Absolutely stunning

    The Sworn soldier series has long been some of my favourite books. I have returned to them for a quick read to pull me out of reading slumps or keep me going when times were rough in general. The eeriness and horror is perfectly balanced with humour and wit and it is easy to fall in love with Easton and kas world.

    I stumbled on the Owlcrate release by accident when I was looking up the books to send a link to a friend as recommended reading, and I was immediately stopped in my tracks at how stunning the artwork for these books is. I own other owlcrate books that I have bought second hand and always loved every single one of them but there was something special about this set, and I had to own them. Needless to say my friend got put on hold for a moment so I could immediately order these for myself. These books pushed me to actually make an account and I fear I might have to come back for more soon (already ordered one more book that I am waiting for excitedly).

    Shipping to Denmark was relatively quick which was another point. Can't wait to see what the future brings!
