About the product

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…

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

"The Staircase in the Woods is a true blueprint for terror that stands alongside the likes of such classic habitats as Charlotte Perkins Gilman's The Yellow Wallpaper, Michael McDowell's The Elementals, and Stephen King's The Shining." ― Clay McLeod Chapman
