In this episode of Literature on the Rocks, Sunny, Rachel, and Rox are cracking open We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer — a psychological horror that’ll make you second-guess every creak in your house.
When a young couple opens their door to a family claiming to have once lived there, a simple act of kindness turns into a descent into madness. The line between memory and reality twists tighter than an over-shaken cocktail, and we’re here to break down every eerie layer.
From unreliable narrators and religious trauma to the horrors of home ownership (because let’s be honest, renovations can also be terrifying), we’re taking you through the full story — start to finish.
We’re pairing this haunting read with Squatter's Rights, a chocolate-orange cocktail with a dark twist that perfectly mirrors the book’s creeping dread.
Pour a drink, check your locks twice, and join the conversation — because in this house, nothing stays buried for long.
