FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BOOK OF ACCIDENTS FROMS THIS NEW MESMERISING HORROR NOVEL

Five high school friends, bonded by an oath to protect each other no matter what.

On a camping trip in the middle of the forest, they find something extraordinary: a mysterious staircase to nowhere

One friend walks up – but never comes back down.

Now twenty years later, the staircase has reappeared, and the friends return to find the lost boy – and what lies beyond the staircase in the woods…

FROM THE MODERN HORROR SENSATION COMES A NEW BONE-CHILLING MASTERPIECE.

'Unputdownable, with imagery that cuts like a knife - this is Chuck Wendig at the top of his game.' THOMAS OLDE HEUVELT, AUTHOR OF HEX AND DARKER DAYS

'A searing, propulsive, dread-filled exploration of the horrors of knowing and being known.' KIERSTEN WHITE, NO. 1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF HIDE

'Deliciously disorienting and deeply captivating' ALAINA URQUHART, NO. 1 NEW TORK TIMES BETSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BUTCHER GAME

Is creating characters, in a book with an enticing title, who ignore literatures' rich array of good vocabulary choices, in favour of common illiterate vulgarity, but have certificates from education establishments, considered a literary achievement now?

Not my cuppa tea.

I really wanted to like this- I like the concept and I was rooting for it but it took so long to actually get into the staircase/house part that I was just trying to get through it at that point. The gore and violence elements seemed quite forced and I felt like it went down that route rather than ever making me feel tense or afraid for the characters. The scenes at the end were so badly voiced- I was actually laughing at their possessed voice performances because it sounded like they were just mocking it. Sadly I wouldn’t recommend!

Kinda dull!
