Recenzijos

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 * 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. * Erin A. Craig, #1 New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows * 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. * Agustina Bazterrica, internationally bestselling author of Tender Is the Flesh * Chilling and filled with a permeating sense of dread from the very first chapter... This is the kind of story that leaves your head spinning for days. * CULTUREFLY * We Used to Live Here is a gem of contemporary horror that explores the places we call home with deft and terrifying command that will leave you shaken long after turning the final page. * Matt and Harrison Query, authors of Reddit hit Old Country * Kliewers debut is an atmospheric nightmare in all the best ways. The pace is pulse-pounding, but the horror aspects are deliciously dragged out. This is recommended for fans of intricately plotted psychological novels, such as those by Stephen King, Ruth Ware and Sarah Pinborough. * Booklist * A devilish debut. What begins as mildly uncomfortable grows full-tilt terrifying. Stringing the whole thing together is Kliewers gift for atmosphere and wicked sense of humor. This is a winner. * Publisher's Weekly * Mysterious guests overstay their welcome in this fresh take on the haunted house trope. Fans of the surging horror genre will think twice about opening the door when somebody knocks. Original and extremely scary A frighteningly good debut. * Kirkus * The story is absolutely gripping and reminds readers of the dread from Get Out. * United By Pop *
