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.

About the Author

Marcus Kliewer is a writer and stop-motion animator. His debut novel We Used to Live Here began life as a serialized short story on Reddit, where it won the Scariest Story of 2021 award on the NoSleep forum (eighteen million members). Film rights were snapped up by Netflix, and it was acquired by Simon & Schuster in the US for publication even before it had been extended into a full-length novel. He lives in Vancouver, Canada.

Requested a price match on a weekend day expecting to hear back on the Monday, but I got a response from Dylan just a few hours later, put through my order and the books were here Tuesday! Super fast and friendly service, love supporting smaller NZ businesses! Thanks to Heroes Dylan and Jordan for making my book-buying experience a breeze 😄

Great customer service and experience. They had sent out an email detailing their upcoming pre-order selection for a book I had been waiting on. Checkout was fast and easy, and there is great selection and pricing across the site. Love to support local.
