We Used to Write Here

Join us for January 9th shivers, as we chat with Marcus Kliewer about scary stories, short online fiction, and his unusual journey to publication. 

About The Speaker

Marcus Kliewer is the New York Times bestselling author of *We Used to Live Here* and The Caretaker. 

Marcus is a writer and stop-motion animator. His debut novel We Used to Live Here began life as a serialized short story on Reddit, where it won the Scariest Story of 2021 award on the NoSleep forum. Film rights were snapped up by Netflix, and it was acquired by Simon & Schuster for publication even before it had been extended into a full-length novel. 

Marcus lives in Vancouver, Canada, with two cats, one dog, and a ridiculous number of house plants.
