We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer

Look. I read a ton of thrillers and horror. These are my favorite genres and I tend to judge pretty harshly. We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer scared the hell out of me.

Short summary - Eve and Charlie (Charlotte) have recently purchased and moved into an older home in the middle of nowhere. It's winter so snow is on the ground and the house itself has it's usual creaks and moans. One day, while Eve is home alone, a family appears on her porch. The father, Thomas, grew up in the house and is asking if he could show his family around before they move across the country. While Eve is hesitant at first, she relents and this is where is all goes downhill.

One thing after another keeps delaying the family, and they end up staying the night as the roads have been closed due to the snowstorm. ....

Marcus Kliewer has written a terrifying story about sanity, about home, about truth and about things that have always been and always will be.

I finished this on the train this morning and I haven't stopped thinking about it. I'm going to be haunted for awhile about this one.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book.
