About

Limited edition printing with stenciled edges

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. Sarah Pinborough is the award-winning, #1 Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author of the psychological thriller (and hit Netflix show) Behind Her Eyes and more than twenty other novels and novellas, including Insomnia and the young adult thriller 13 Minutes. She has also written for the BBC. She lives in England.
"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

"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

"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

Reviews

"Part gothic fiction and part domestic thriller, this creepy, compelling listen features Helen Baxendale's and Jamie Glover's excellent narrations. After surviving a nearly fatal accident, Emily and her husband, Freddie, relocate from London to Larkin Lodge, a remote Dartmoor estate. Emily begins to have unsettling experiences while alone, and her husband worries about her mental health. However, she's determined to uncover all the secrets of the house, her marriage, and their history. Told in alternating perspectives divided into "Me," "You," "Us," and "Them" sections, the narrations by Baxendale and Glover perfectly match the slow build of the story. Both capture the determination, guilt, and duplicity of the characters as the plot twists. K.S.M. � AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine"
