We Used to Live Here

Rezensionen / Stimmen

One of the creepiest stories I've ever read! This twisted tale will haunt my nightmares for a long time to come! * Freida McFadden, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid * 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 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. * 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 * What begins as a Tremblay-ian exercise in ratcheting tension soon peels away to reveal a mind-bendingly fractal horror story that would make even Danielewski sweat. We Used to Iive Here is an expertly paced and structured nightmare, full of surprises; a thrillingly, chillingly participatory anxiety attack of a book. * Nat Cassidy, Bestselling author of Mary and Nestlings * 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 * Kliewer's 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 Kliewer's gift for atmosphere and wicked sense of humor. This is a winner. * Publisher's Weekly *
