We Used to Live Here

We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer, 312 pages

Eve is waiting for her wife to come home for dinner one night when a family knocks on the door, saying that the father grew up there and could they please take a look inside for a few minutes? What starts as a fairly innocuous request ends up turning into a horrifying tale of gaslighting, passages appearing and disappearing, and missing people. It's hard to tell what kind of horror this story is — a week after finishing this, I honestly don't know if it's a haunted house or eldritch horror or portals to another universe or mimics or what. It's definitely terrifying though, so it achieves what it set out to do.
