The Staircase in the Woods

The Staircase in the Woods by Chuck Wendig is a chilling story about friendship, fear, and the strange things that hide in the woods.

It all started with a group of five high school friends. They made a promise to always protect each other, no matter what. But everything changed on one camping trip.

Deep in the forest, they discovered a staircase—one that led nowhere. It didn’t belong there. It didn’t make sense. One friend walked up the steps… and vanished. Then, just like that, the staircase was gone.

Now, twenty years later, the staircase has come back. And so have the remaining friends. They’re determined to uncover what really happened to the boy they lost—and to find out what waits at the top of those stairs.

This haunting novel blends emotional depth with eerie suspense, perfect for fans of supernatural horror with strong characters and a slow-burn mystery.
