Please Remain Seated
Spine-chilling Stories from the Sky, Land, and Sea

Quotes

""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."

"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."

“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.”

"A no-brakes plummet into madness." 

“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.” 

Praise for THE CARETAKER

"Disturbing and propulsive, THE CARETAKER is a gem of visually inspired Gothic storytelling. Marcus Kliewer takes a familiar horror premise and makes it his own, drawing you into a lucid nightmare of a novel. Keep the light on!"
