Chuck Wendig is the Frank Lloyd Wright of horror and here's his masterstroke of malaise.<i> The Staircase in the Woods</i> is a true blueprint for terror that stands alongside the likes of such classic habitats as Charlotte Perkins Gilman's <i>The Yellow Wallpaper</i>, Michael McDowell's <i>The Elementals</i>, and Stephen King's <i>The Shining</i>.

Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes

Chuck Wendig weaves his magic once more, turning a lonely staircase in the woods into a searing, propulsive, dread-filled exploration of the horrors of knowing and being known. I’d follow him anywhere (fictionally, not literally, because I’m not setting foot on those stairs).

Kiersten White, No.1 New York Times bestselling author of Hide

A highly original twist on the archetypical reuniting of childhood friends, <i>The Staircase in the Woods</i> is more than just a deliciously nostalgic horror story. It’s a masterclass in character. As each of the people who inhabit these pages dwell through the labyrinth of guilt and grief and memory, they will also possess your mind, and you will fall in love with them because they are all too human. 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

Chuck Wendig has given us another stunner.<i> The Staircase in the Woods</i> is as mysterious, alluring, heartbreaking, ever-shifting, and unnervingly powerful as the nature of friendship itself.

Nat Cassidy, author of When the Wolf Comes Home and Mary

Heart-wrenching and anxiety-inducing. Like if the crew from King's <i>IT</i> were thrown into the chaotic hallways of Danielewski's <i>House of Leaves</i>, <i>The Staircase in the Woods</i> will become lodged in your mind, if you let it in.

Jenny Kiefer, author of This Wretched Valley

With <i>The Staircase in the Woods</i>, Chuck Wendig has crafted a very sinister take on the familiar urban legend. Highly original and deeply disturbing, this one will stick with you.

Gwendolyn Kiste, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Reluctant Immortals and The Haunting of Velkwood

<p><i>The Staircase in the Woods</i> is delicious disorienting and deeply captivating. It will pull at the<br />threads of your psyche in the best way until you feel like you just emerged from the most<br />exquisite nightmare.</p>

Alaina Urquhart, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Butcher Game

<p>You'll read this book and be unseated, disoriented, and yes, scared. But if you read it as I read it,<br />you'll come away with a searching portrait of four friends trying to find the things we all tend to<br />lose as we grow older: faith, direction, hope, happiness, purpose. That's the heart of Chuck<br />Wendig's work in these pages, and to read a book that illuminates such profound human truths is<br />very rare indeed.</p>
