Overview
The long-awaited, terrifying new novel from Gus Moreno, author of the cult classic This Thing Between Us
When Gabe and Espo buy the long-abandoned, three-flat apartment building in Chicago, it feels like their first real step toward freedom from the 9-to-5 grind. But their plan to renovate and rent out the other two units is immediately beset with challenges from all sides, and not just from inside the building. Gabe and Espo can handle the strange dreams, the oddities found within the walls, the music drifting down from empty attic. It's their families they really have to watch out for.
Gabe’s mother asks him to take in his troubled brother Ruben who is spiraling after his divorce. Espo’s estranged father, a recovering addict needs a place to stay. Now, with each floor of the building occupied, a dark presence begins to make itself known. And Gabe and Espo need to face not only what they’ve inherited—debt, grief, addiction, love—but the terrible possibility that some buildings don’t just hold the past. They feed on it.
Gus Moreno’s long-awaited new novel, If You Think You're Lonely Now, is a brilliant, bone-chilling exploration of love, intergenerational trauma, and the sometimes oppressive weight of filial duty.
