The follow-up to T. Kingfisher’s bestselling gothic novella, What Moves the Dead .

Retired soldier Alex Easton returns in a horrifying new adventure.

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.

Okay I'll be blunt: I wanted What Feasts At Night to be the moths. Last book was fungi, next moths. But it was an annoyingly tantalizing theme dangled just out of reach for the entire book. dWe got one scene where a living but partially consumed horse collapses into moths, and it was the best scene of the book. I honestly don't even get the theme of moths and I don't think it was explained. If it was just some kind of misdirect then barf. "It was ghost" was disappointing, but still enjoyable. Haunting books are okay but I was hoping for something special like What Moves the Dead, but I got a pretty enjoyable but generic haunting tale. "It was a dream" is the bit I am vigorously forcing out of my memory because the book up until the point was doing just fine. Forgetting it is doing the story a courtesy.

I really hope the next one is more like What Moves the Dead in the respects I gave here.

Obviously as the Perfect Person and not just some guy, my opinion matters greatly. Thanks for reading.

A triumphant sequel

Alex Easton is such a great character and I was very happy getting to read more about them. This book is a little less creepy and a lot more Easton than its predecessor.
