The Turn of the Key meets Parasite in this eerily haunting debut and Reddit hit-soon to be a Netflix original movie starring Blake Lively-about two homeowners whose lives are turned upside down when the house's previous residents unexpectedly visit.

You let them back in. You shouldn't have...

Young couple Charlie and Eve can't believe the killer deal they got on an old house deep in the mountains. One day, a man knocks on the door. He says he lived there years before and asks if he can show his family around.

As soon as they enter, strange things start to happen, and Eve is desperate for them to leave and never come back. But they can't - or won't - take the hint that they are no longer welcome.

Then, Charlie vanishes, and Eve begins to lose her grip on reality. She's convinced there's something terribly wrong with the house and its past inhabitants . . . or is it all in her head?

The Turn of the Key meets Parasite in this gripping, eerily haunting debut and Reddit hit - soon to be a Netflix original movie starring Blake Lively - that will keep you up into the early hours. Perfect for fans of Stephen King and Leave the World Behind.

Reviews for We Used to Live Here

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 * 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 *
