A Novel
by Sarah Pinborough
Award-winning author of New York Times bestselling breakout novel (and hit Netflix show) Behind Her Eyes returns with a haunting Gothic novel about a house―and a marriage―gone terribly wrong.
After an accident that nearly kills her, Emily and her husband, Freddie, move from London to a beautiful Dartmoor country house called Larkin Lodge. The house is gorgeous, striking―and to Emily, something about it feels deeply wrong.
Old boards creak at night, fires go out, and books fall from the shelves, and all of it stems from the terrible presence she feels in the third-floor room. But these things happen only when Emily's alone, so are they happening at all? She's still medically fragile; her postsepsis condition can cause hallucinatory side effects, which means she can't fully trust her own senses. Freddie doesn't notice anything odd and is happy with their chance at a fresh start.
Emily, however, starts to believe that the house is being haunted by someone who was murdered in it, though she can find no evidence of a wrongful death. As bizarre events pile up and her marriage starts to crumble, Emily becomes obsessed with discovering the truth about Larkin Lodge.
But if the house has secrets, so do Emily and her husband.
And they live here now.
"Pinborough's wobbly latest standalone is an atmospheric if anticlimactic gothic thriller about a couple's move to an eerie estate." —Publishers Weekly
"This is a mind-blowing domestic suspense set in a house that literally brings out the worst in the couples who live there, featuring an ending that will leave readers alternately gasping with abject horror and tittering with evil laughter...Pinborough, the queen of the twist, has another winner with a fast-paced and original update to the British gothic and the stories of Edgar Allan Poe." —Library Journal
"All marriages have secrets. All houses have a past. But not like this one. This is Sarah Pinborough at her mind-bending best." ―Ruth Ware, bestselling author of One Perfect Couple
"Genre-bending and cunning, We Live Here Now is a riveting modern Gothic, full of the clever twists and surprises that have become Sarah Pinborough's trademark. I'm a big fan." ―Harlan Coben, bestselling author of Think Twice
"Stunning. Shocking. Terrifying. You know it's coming, but you'll never guess what it is. We Live Here Now is a twisting, funny and frightening journey from calm to storm, from a dream right into a nightmare. I loved every page. No one tells stories like Sarah Pinborough." ―Chris Whitaker, bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark
