Tor Nightfire Announces New Novella from T. Kingfisher
Tor Nightfire has announced a sequel to T. Kingfisher’s bestselling novel What Moves the Dead. The new novella, entitled What Feasts at Night, is coming out in March 2024. Kingfisher says it was so fun writing the main character Alex Easton. “So of course, I started writing a sequel,” Kingfisher says. “I got about a third of the way through that sequel, and realized that I was writing a third book, not a second book. (Hey, it happens.) That book had to be over there, but there was a different book that had to go here, which I needed to write first. So I set that one down and started on What Feasts at Night, which unfolded in front of me, full of local folklore and trauma, priests and widows, and Easton crashing into the middle of it, trailing chaos in their wake.”
