What Relocations the Dead is a re-telling of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Fall of your home of Usher,” which I really have not check out (you do not require to in order to comprehend or value this story). It follows Alex Easton, a retired soldier, who takes a trip to see their old youth good friend, Madeline, after getting a letter stating that she’s seriously ill and passing away.

Alex discovers a rotting house surrounded by weird animals, unusual mushrooms, and a not likely group of characters attempting to determine exactly what is going on. The setting is extremely macabre, mystical, and upsetting. I was completely encapsulated, and equivalent parts mortified and interested.

The composing in this story is extremely detailed, and I had the ability to completely envision the scene: an old, cold, moldy home filled with mold and mildew, an outside covered in thick plants, and slow-moving hares that made you seem like you were constantly being enjoyed.

For me, this was excellence. The environment was palpable and really carried me into the book, where I had the ability to witness firsthand the insanity that was gradually however undoubtedly unraveling in the Usher’s home.

If you’re seeking to include a dark, spooky book to your Fall TBR, make it this one. I enjoyed the method this book made my skin crawl and can’t await more individuals to choose it up.
