Marcus Kliewer on writing horror and the intensity of "We Used To Live Here"

Описание: As part of the Novel Idea Society's October 2024 book club author ‪@Marcus_Kliewer‬ sits down with ‪@cbcsask‬'s Sam Maciag to talk about his gripping horror novel -- and soon to be Netflix movie -- "We Used To Live Here." Kliever reveals how he went from working multiple jobs just to get by, to locking down a movie and multiple book deal.

About the book:
As a young, queer couple who flip houses, Charlie and Eve can’t believe the killer deal they’ve just gotten on an old house in a picturesque neighborhood. As they’re working in the house one day, there’s a knock on the door. A man stands there with his family, claiming to have lived there years before and asking if it would be alright if he showed his kids around. People pleaser to a fault, Eve lets them in.
As soon as the strangers enter their home, inexplicable things start happening, including the family’s youngest child going missing and a ghostly presence materializing in the basement. Even more weird, the family can’t seem to take the hint that their visit should be over. And when Charlie suddenly vanishes, Eve slowly loses her grip on reality. Something is terribly wrong with the house and with the visiting family—or is Eve just imagining things?
