What Feasts at Night by T. Kingfisher (Paperback)

The hair-raising follow-up to the award-winning What Moves the Dead, this novella-length sequel sees retired soldier Alex Easton return in the second book of T. Kingfisher’s Sworn Soldier series.

When Easton travels to their home country of Gallacia as a favour to their friend, Britain’s foremost mycologist Miss Potter, they find their house standing empty, the caretaker dead, and the grounds blanketed in an uncanny, unnatural silence. The locals won’t speak of what happened to the caretaker. None of them will so much as set foot on the grounds.

Whispers of an unearthly, breath-stealing creature from Gallacian folklore don’t trouble the practical, level-headed Easton, at least not at first. But as their sleep is disturbed by increasingly vivid nightmares, and strange happenings begin to perplex the household, they’re forced to confront the unsettling possibility that there may be far more to the old folk stories than they’d ever cared to believe. A dark shadow hangs over Easton’s home, and nobody will rest until justice is done.

Perfect for readers who love an atmospheric gothic horror, a chilling folklore-steeped mystery, and a creeping tale of dread where old superstitions prove more real, and more dangerous, than anyone imagined.
