An Instant New York Times, USA Today, and Indie Bestseller

Enter a cold, silent forest and find out what feasts at night in this new gothic tale from bestselling and award-winning author T. Kingfisher, set in the world of What Moves the Dead.

*A very special hardcover edition, featuring a foil stamp on the casing and custom endpapers illustrated by the author.*

After their terrifying ordeal at the Usher manor, Alex Easton feels as if they just survived another war. All they crave is rest, routine, and sunshine, but instead, as a favor to Angus and Miss Potter, they find themself heading to their family hunting lodge, deep in the cold, damp forests of their home country, Gallacia.

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.

another very good kingfisher book I still love Alex and Angus and their dynamic. What Feasts at Night isn't as creepy as What Moves the Dead but it works wonders in terms of character work and depicturing Alex's homeland and their *cough* superstitions

A very short read if anyone is looking for a creepy tale to bridge the gap between two books. I don’t think you necessarily have to have read book 1, although it would be helpful regarding the special pronouns that are used in Gallacia. There is no specific explanation in this book regarding that, so it might be confusing when you come across it for the very first time. Kingfisher never disappoints, I love the sense of humor and the down to earth way of telling a story. The characters are no heroes with special powers, they are only human and it shows. They deal with creepy things just like I would and react in a way that is easy to understand and feels natural. Featured in this story is a surprising death, a weird illness and a folk tale fueling nightmares and superstition - or ist it really just a tale? Is everything that is happening just a weitd coincidence? Kingfisher leaves that to the reader.

This book had fun reading this book. I really liked Alex because I found him to relatable. It had a creepy vide to it that I found entertaining.
