Kingfisher, the pen name of Ursula Vernon. Spanning gothic dread, family secrets, folk horror, and uncanny museums, this set showcases Kingfisher's signature blend of atmospheric suspense, sharp wit, and deeply human characters. From a reimagined Poe classic to a Southern Gothic nightmare and two tales steeped in rural folklore, each novel stands on its own while sharing a fascination with hidden histories and the terror lurking beneath ordinary life. Perfect for horror readers, this brand-new paperback set delivers four immersive reading experiences in one collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAcross these four novels, T. Kingfisher explores the eerie space where the familiar tips into the uncanny. What Moves the Dead reimagines Edgar Allan Poe's \"The Fall of the House of Usher\" through the eyes of Alex Easton, a retired soldier drawn back to a decaying estate where fungal growths creep across the grounds and the line between illness and possession blurs. It is the first entry in Kingfisher's Sworn Soldier series and won the Locus Award for Best Horror Novel.\n\nA House with Good Bones turns a quiet North Carolina street into a battleground of buried secrets, as a woman returns to her family home and finds it stripped of its old warmth, replaced by something colder and watchful. The Hollow Places follows a recently divorced woman who moves into her uncle's Wonder Museum, only to discover a passage behind the taxidermy that leads somewhere it shouldn't, a story of portals, curiosities, and quiet dread. The Twisted Ones sends a woman cataloging her late grandmother's cluttered house into the surrounding woods, where stone markers and half-remembered folklore hint at something ancient still moving among the trees.\n\nTogether, these novels demonstrate Kingfisher's range across horror subgenres, from gothic revival to Southern Gothic to backwoods folk horror, while maintaining a consistent voice: wry, observant, and unafraid to let humor sit beside genuine dread. Each book is a complete story, so readers can start anywhere in the set and still find a fully satisfying, self-contained nightmare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete set of four standalone horror novels from an award-winning author\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand-new paperback editions, perfect for gifting or building a horror collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a Locus Award-winning gothic reimagining of Poe's \"The Fall of the House of Usher\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlends dark humor with genuine dread across gothic, Southern Gothic, and folk horror styles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach novel is self-contained, so you can read them in any order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA great gift for horror fans, book clubs, or fall and Halloween reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat Moves the Dead — A retired soldier races to a fungus-choked estate to save a childhood friend in this Locus Award-winning reimagining of Poe's \"The Fall of the House of Usher.\"\u003cbr\u003e\nA House with Good Bones — A woman returns to her family's North Carolina home and finds it eerily transformed, its old warmth replaced by secrets and quiet menace.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Hollow Places — A recently divorced woman moves into her uncle's Wonder Museum and stumbles onto a passage that shouldn't exist.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Twisted Ones — Cataloging her late grandmother's belongings leads a woman into the woods, where unsettling stone markers guard an ancient, watching presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nT.

A House with Good Bones follows Samantha Montgomery back to her childhood home, where a vulture waits by the mailbox and the once-lived-in house has been scrubbed into a sterile, watchful version of itself, forcing Sam to dig through buried family history to learn what changed. The Hollow Places drops recently divorced Carrot into a job cataloging her uncle's Wonder Museum of oddities, where a strange hole in a wall leads to a waterlogged world that should not exist, and where the museum's taxidermy seems to be watching back. The Twisted Ones follows a woman clearing her late grandmother's hoarder house in rural North Carolina, where a bizarre journal, a ring of unsettling stone figures in the woods, and a very good dog lead her toward a folklore-soaked nightmare. Together, these four standalone novels showcase T. Kingfisher's blend of homespun humor and creeping, atmospheric dread, each built around resourceful narrators who talk themselves through terror with dry wit and hard-won courage.

Kingfisher. Book one, Swordheart, follows a sheltered widow and the immortal warrior bound to her family's ancient blade as they flee across a kingdom of bandits and demons. Book two, Daggerbound, hands the spotlight to scholar Learned Edmund, whose own encounter with a magic sword unleashes a very different kind of unlikely hero.

Kingfisher's Swordheart series is set within the shared \"World of the White Rat\" universe, the same richly imagined setting behind her Clocktaur War and Saint of Steel novels. The series opens with Swordheart, in which a lonely widow named Halla inherits a magic sword from her great-uncle, only to accidentally free the ancient, immortal swordsman Sarkis, who has been bound to the blade for centuries. Forced to work together while fleeing Halla's scheming relatives, the pair's journey blends sharp banter, genuine danger, and a slow-burn romance that has made the book a favorite among fantasy readers. The story is the first entry in what Kingfisher has described as a planned trilogy of loosely connected adventures set in the same world. Daggerbound continues the story from a new angle, following Learned Edmund, the disillusioned scholar readers first met accompanying Halla and Sarkis. While transporting a precious relic between temples, Edmund is ambushed by bandits and, out of desperation, draws the \"relic\" himself, discovering it is in fact another enchanted sword housing an immortal warrior. What follows is a wildly entertaining road-trip adventure filled with strange creatures, an unforgettable opinionated donkey, and a tender, reluctant romance that lets the more bookish, anxious Edmund finally take center stage. Together, Swordheart and Daggerbound showcase Kingfisher's signature mix of cozy humor, sharp dialogue, and emotionally satisfying romantic fantasy, making this pairing a natural read for anyone who loved book one and is eager to return to this world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes both Swordheart and Daggerbound, the first two entries in T.
