Marcus Kliewer in Conversation With Caitlin Starling

Follow the Rites… Nothing less than the survival of humanity is at stake. From We Used To Live Here author Marcus Kliewer — a new “titan of the macabre and unsettling” (Erin A. Craig, author of House of Salt and Sorrows) — comes The Caretaker (Atria/Emily Bestler Books/12:01 Books), a supernatural horror about a young woman who accepts a caretaking job from Craigslist, only to discover the position has consequences far greater — and more dangerous — than she ever could have imagined. EXCITING OPPORTUNITY: Caretaker urgently needed. Three days of work. Competitive pay. Serious applicants ONLY. Macy Mullins can’t say why the job posting grabbed her attention — it had the pull of a fisherman’s lure, barbed hook and all — vaguely ominous. But after an endless string of failed job interviews, she's not exactly in the position to be picky. She has rent to pay, groceries to buy, and a younger sister to provide for. Besides, it’s only three days’ work…Three days, cooped up in a stranger’s house, surrounded by Oregon Coast wilderness. What starts as a peculiar side gig soon becomes a waking nightmare. An incomprehensible evil may dwell on this property — and Macy Mullins might just be the only thing standing between it, and the rest of humanity. Follow the Rites… Follow the Rites... Follow the Rites... ..--- / ..... / ---.. Kliewer will be joined in conversation by Caitlin Starling, author of The Starving Saints.
