Our view
“We Used to Live Here” is a debut horror novel that builds unease with real skill. Its strength is atmosphere and the steady tightening of suspense; some readers lose patience with characters whose decisions strain belief at the very moments when caution seems obvious. Those who come to ghost stories for mood and mystery will get the most from it.
