If their new home doesn't break them, their secrets will...

When Emily wakes from a coma following an accident that nearly kills her, she finds herself agreeing to move from London to the wild moors of Devon with her husband Freddie. A fresh start is exactly what their marriage needs.

As their car pulls up to Larkin Lodge, their dream country home, Emily's heart sinks. Outside, everything is covered in an icy gray mist. Inside, the air is filled with dust and abandonment.

And then she finds the empty suite on the second floor. A room so bleak, so cold, so void of anything good. Something bad happened in here. Someone dies in here. Why can't Freddie feel the darkness that stirs within its walls?

There's something wrong with the house, this strange house, where the floorboards creak at night, the doors rattle, the windows slam shut, the taps turn on and off - and on and off.

But if the house is hiding something, so are Emily and Freddie...

Critics Review

Eerie, clever and darkly funny, We Live Here Now puts an entirely fresh spin on the haunted house novel. The twists are genius, the ending so satisfying - I loved it. Sarah Pinborough's best book yet.
Nicci Cloke
'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
'This book shows Sarah Pinborough at the absolute top of her game, I read the whole thing in a one day frenzy, and the twist blew my mind'
Lisa Jewell
'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
We Live Here Now is a dark and twisted take on the haunted house mystery full of questionable characters and spooky happenings, but it's mostly a story of what happens behind the closed doors of a marriage and how secrets will ultimately break everything apart. Pacy, creepy and devilishly plotted, this is one to savour on a cold dark night.
Susi Holliday
Brilliantly chilling. It's enough to make you move into a new build and never want to leave.
John Marrs
All marriages have secrets. All houses haves have a past. But not like this one. This is Sarah Pinborough at her mind-bending best.
Ruth Ware
A modern gothic about a haunted house - and the haunted couple who move in. Clever, beautifully-written, and creepy. When you reach the gut-punching ending, you can imagine Edgar Allan Poe himself applauding.
Alex North
I was instantly hooked by the weird and wonderful in this one. Original, spooky and full of twists - I loved it!
Terri Terry
I love everything Sarah Pinborough writes, but I especially loved We Live Here Now. Sarah is an absolute master of cross genre fiction and this is definitely one of her best. Whilst the set up feels familiar, especially to fans of the horror genre, the execution and revelations are utterly original. Compelling, creepy, clever and unpredictable.
Nikki Mackay
A seriously chilling, darkly atmospheric thrill ride. It's a haunted house story, and I loved the way the twists and turns played out, while also being genuinely I-would-rather-read-this-in-the-daylight terrified. So clever. So wicked.
Cressida McLaughlin
A couple with their own secrets moves into a spooky old house and the result is a sinister, escalating ride that's part thriller, part horror and ALL an outstanding read from the master herself. I'm saying nothing more, except you NEED to experience We Live Here Now by Sarah Pinborough. Sheer terror in book.
Janice Hallet
A genuinely creepy haunted house novel that brings out the worst in its inhabitants and exposes their dastardly secrets. Sarah writes beautifully and the plotting here is second to none.
Liz Nugent
