Follow the Rites… Nothing Less Than the Survival of Humanity Is at Stake
In The Caretaker: A Novel, acclaimed author Marcus Kliewer (We Used to Live Here) delivers a chilling, propulsive supernatural horror about desperation, isolation, and the terrifying price of one wrong Craigslist gig.
Macy Mullins is drowning. After her father’s death, she’s left caring for her teenage sister Jemma while buried in debt, overdue bills, and an eviction notice. When a mysterious three-day caretaking job appears on Craigslist — high pay, remote Oregon Coast house, serious applicants only — she jumps at it. Three days alone in a stranger’s isolated estate surrounded by wilderness? It feels too good to be true.
But the moment Macy arrives at Brooksview Heights, everything shifts. A VHS tape left by the owner spells out a list of bizarre, non-negotiable “Rites” she must follow to the letter: specific times to turn on every light, how to answer calls from “The Visitors,” and rules that grow increasingly disturbing. What starts as an eerie side gig quickly spirals into a waking nightmare.
An incomprehensible evil dwells on this property — and Macy may be the only thing standing between it and the rest of humanity.
Atmospheric, visually haunting, and impossible to put down, The Caretaker is Gothic supernatural horror at its finest — perfect for fans of isolation dread, cosmic stakes, and slow-burn terror that lingers long after the final page.
