Reviews

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. * Alma Katsu, author of The Fervor *
There is a feeling that a small number of books conjure. It can be distilled to: Oh god, something aint right here. Their hallmark is a creeping, unaccountable, jangly dread that seeps into their pages until you almost wish you could stop readingbut of course, its too late. Youre in its grip. We Used to Live Here is one of those rare books. * Nick Cutter, bestselling author of The Troop *
