書評
"A simply riveting read from start to finish, WE USED TO LIVE HERE will prove to be a prized pick for community library collections." -- ― John Burroughs, Midwest Book Review
"Kliewer’s debut is an atmospheric nightmare in all the best ways. This is recommended for fans of intricately plotted psychological novels, such as those by Stephen King, Ruth Ware, and Sarah Pinborough." ― ― Booklist
*Most Anticipated Horror and Thriller Books Coming out in June 2024* ― ― Screen Rant Roundup
"This book is 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 it." -- ― Agustina Bazterrica, bestselling author of Tender is the Flesh
“Original and extremely scary . . . A frighteningly good debut.” ― ― Kirkus Reviews
"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
“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, national bestselling author of The Troop
"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 Wilderness Reform
"[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." ― ― Publishers Weekly
“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
