From the author of the horror sensation We Used to Live Here and The Caretaker comes a bingeable and perfectly unsettling audio collection of three brand-new short stories, taking listeners all the way from a nightmareish flight through unfriendly skies to a submarine in the darkest depths of the ocean.

In Please Remain Seated, a young woman misses her flight home, and in her desperation to rebook, accepts a ticket on an airline she’s never heard of. She soon discovers she is the only passenger.

Backroads opens with a car crash: somewhere deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest, a disoriented driver spins out off the road after hitting…something. Calling out to offer help, what he finds is not a creature in need, but a dangerous, inexplicable predator, and a life-or-death chase begins.

And Anomaly brings listeners on a deep-sea expedition: a first-time diver joins an experienced crew on what should be a simple mission—before all goes horribly wrong.

This collection of stories, all never before published, is the first original audiobook by Marcus Kliewer, “titan of the macabre and unsettling” (Erin A. Craig, #1 New York Times bestselling author). Anthologies & Short Stories Horror Short Stories Supernatural Thriller & Suspense

Critic reviews

""PLEASE REMAIN SEATED is clever, scary, gory fun. It’s a hell of a flight!”"
—Robyn Harding
"Horror fans are sure to be thrilled by Kliewer's original audiobook collection of three chilling short stories. Expert narration and sound design elevate each tale, creating an unforgettable listening experience. Each story explores a different kind of fear, taking listeners from a nightmare flight through unfriendly skies to an isolated backroad and, finally, into the crushing darkness of the deep ocean. While the stories are compelling on their own, the audiobook production makes them even more effective. All three stories are performed by different narrators whose distinct styles each perfectly complement the setting and tone of their tale. Jeremy Bobb is the standout, bringing rugged confidence and mounting unease to "Backroads" with his deep, commanding voice. Sosie Bacon delivers the opening story with just the right balance of tension and vulnerability. Kyle Beltran nicely rounds out the audio performances with excellent timing in the last story. Combined with subtle ambient effects and powerful, cinematic sound design, these performances create intense atmospheres. Listeners seeking quick, immersive horror stories will certainly enjoy this collection."

Praise for WE USED TO LIVE HERE
"What begins as a Tremblay-ian exercise in ratcheting tension soon peels away to reveal a mind-bendingly fractal horror story that would make even Danielewski sweat. WE USED TO LIVE HERE is an expertly paced and structured nightmare, full of surprises; a thrillingly, chillingly participatory anxiety attack of a book." (Nat Cassidy, Bestselling author of Mary and Nestlings)
"This book is like quicksand: the further you delve into its pages, the more immobilized you become by a spiral of terror. WE USED TO LIVE HERE will haunt you even after you have finished it." ( Agustina Bazterrica, bestselling author of Tender is the Flesh)
“There is a feeling that a small number of books conjure. It can be distilled to: Oh god, something ain’t right here. Their hallmark is a creeping, unaccountable, jangly dread that seeps into their pages until you almost wish you could stop reading—but of course, it’s too late. You’re in its grip. WE USED TO LIVE HERE is one of those rare books.” (Nick Cutter, national bestselling author of The Troop)
"A no-brakes plummet into madness." (Alma Katsu, award winning author of Fiend)
“Marcus Kliewer's THE CARETAKER is an example of taking a quiet idea and making it truly haunting. A book written for horror fans that have always thought they were smarter than the main characters in a story... truly one of my favorite novels I've read in years.” (Mike Salt, author of You're Not Supposed to Be Here)
