From Little Stack
Madeline Usher is dying. As soon as retired soldier Alex Easton hears the news, he rushes back to the crumbling home of his childhood friend. What he finds is a nightmare. Fungal growth, possessed wildlife, and both Madeline and her brother are suffering from strange illnesses. Kingfisher takes the eeriness of Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher and adds a terrifying new spin where everything is consumed, controlled, and transformed by a malevolent fungus.
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.
