Featured book: Staircase in the Woods by Chuck Wendig

Be careful when you go into the woods, for there are horrors which might haunt you forever . . .

Our April Evernight book is a standalone psychological adult horror! Twenty years ago, a group of friends camping in the forest found a staircase in the woods which appeared to lead to nowhere. But when one friend walked up, they vanished—and so did the staircase. Twenty years later, the staircase returns and so does the group, gathering to find their missing friend and discover the truth of the staircase in the woods.

Our Evernight Exclusive edition is a Royal hardback and features:

If you like spooky house books and the friend group aspect of IT, we think you’ll enjoy this one!
