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.

About the Author
Reviews
“Brilliant. This book shows Sarah Pinborough at the absolute top of her game, it’s up there with Behind Her Eyes. I read it in a frenzy in one day and the twist completely blew my mind. I adored every page.”
—Lisa Jewell, bestselling author of None of This is True
“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
“A deliciously dark thriller about marriage and murder. Original, clever, creepy, and packed full of secrets and sinister twists. A haunted marriage inside a haunted house with an ending you won't see coming. Sarah Pinborough's imagination is a wonderful place.”
—Alice Feeney, bestselling author of Rock Paper Scissors and Beautiful Ugly
“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
“I loved We Live Here Now. A modern gothic about a haunted house - and the haunted couple who move in. Clever, beautifully-written (of course), and creepy as [heck]. When you reach the gut punch ending, you can imagine Edgar Allen Poe himself applauding.”
—Alex North, bestselling author of The Whisper Man
“Brilliantly chilling. It's enough to make you move into a new build and never want to leave. It ratchets up the tension until the dial breaks. Pinborough really is the Queen.”
—John Marrs, bestselling author of Keep It in the Family
“Sarah Pinborough has done it again - the queen of the spooky thriller has taken on a haunted house and given it a twist all of her own. Clever, compelling and creepy, you’ll never want to move to the country again!”
—Harriet Tyce, bestselling author of The Lies You Told
“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, author of Close Your Eyes
“When you pick up a Sarah Pinborough book, you can always expect the unexpected, and no matter what you do, you will never work out entirely where it's going until it smacks you in the face. 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, bestselling author of The Hike
