A quiet home becomes a trap when a family's sense of reality begins to fracture. Blurring the lines between past and present, We Used To Live Here is a dark and atmospheric nightmare.

This book really is like quicksand, it doesn't let go and will definitely haunt you even after you finished it. My sleep-deprived eyes and overall sleepless nights can vouch for that. I dare say, this was one of the best horror reads this year, even though at first, for me it started quite slow. I actually liked this slowly creeping sensation, that got even creepier the more you read. Imagine, moving in to this big, old house with your partner. Suddenly this (slightly) weird family knocks on your door, the man telling you he used to live there and if they may take a look around. Obviously my answer would have been YOU MAY NOT. The story unravels from there until you (as well as our main character) get to the point of having no clue what's real anymore and we all feel kind of delulu. So in conclusion, the real horror lies in socialising with people... Can't imagine not being able to get strangers out of my house, the audacity!
