You let them back in. You shouldn”t have…
Young couple Charlie and Eve can’t believe the killer deal they got on an old house deep in the mountains.
One day, a man knocks on the door. He says he lived there years before and asks if he can show his family around.
But, as soon as they enter, strange things start to happen. Eve is desperate for them to leave and never come back. But they can’t – or won’t – take the hint that they are no longer welcome.
Then, Charlie vanishes, and Eve begins to lose her grip on reality.
She’s convinced there’s something terribly wrong with the house and its past inhabitants . . . or is it all in her head?

Inventive and genuinely scary, We Used to Live Here is the most impressive horror debut I”ve read in a long time. Marcus Kliewer is a talent to watch.
Review quote:
There is a feeling that a small number of books conjure. It can be distilled to: Oh god, something ain’t right here. Their hallmark is a creeping, unaccountable, jangly dread that seeps into their pages until you almost wish you could stop reading—but of course, it’s too late. You’re in its grip. We Used to Live Here is one of those rare books.
Review quote:
Full of unease and stomach-churning dread, We Used to Live Here creeps up to you like a sly shadow. I wanted to look away. I absolutely could not. Marcus Kliewer is destined to become a titan of the macabre and unsettling. Read this with every single light on.
Review quote:
This book is like quicksand: the further you delve into its pages, the more immobilized you become by the spiral of terror that takes over you when you know nothing seems what it is… Is a family really a family? Can a house be something else? We Used to Live Here is going to haunt you even after you have finished it. This is what I call a great book.
