Octoberβs Monthly Read
We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer
About The Book:
As a young, queer couple who flip houses, Charlie and Eve canβt believe the killer deal theyβve just gotten on an old house in a picturesque neighborhood. As theyβre working in the house one day, thereβs a knock on the door. A man stands there with his family, claiming to have lived there years before and asking if it would be alright if he showed his kids around. People pleaser to a fault, Eve lets them in.
As soon as the strangers enter their home, inexplicable things start happening, including the familyβs youngest child going missing and a ghostly presence materializing in the basement. Even more weird, the family canβt seem to take the hint that their visit should be over. And when Charlie suddenly vanishes, Eve slowly loses her grip on reality. Something is terribly wrong with the house and with the visiting familyβor is Eve just imagining things?
This unputdownable and spine-tingling novel βis like quicksand: the further you delve into its pages, the more immobilized you become by a spiral of terror. We Used to Live Here will haunt you even after you have finished itβ (Agustina Bazterrica, author of Tender Is the Flesh).
