Preorder THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS

Five friends go into the woods, four come out.

I’ve been reading Chuck Wendig books since the early 2010s, when he had back to back releases of BLACKBIRDS and MOCKINGBIRD, the first two books in the Miriam Black series of (six) books. Since then, I’ve read piles of his stories adding up to thousands of pages. Psychics, AI, Jedis, Pandemics, Serial Killers… he’s covered a lot of ground. But there’s something about this story. Something more than it appears. Something beneath the surface.

This is a story that is best read unspoiled, so our main conversation avoids anything that would taint the read. Even so, we talk about friendship, parenting, trauma, and of all things Homestar Runner. It is a captivating talk! But that’s not all!

Let’s Get Spoiled

It’s not even hard for me to say that this is my favorite book of Chuck’s. THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS is an impressive achievement. So much so that I felt compelled to get Chuck to do an episode of The After Party, the spoiler-rich series that is available exclusively on this site. So once you’ve read the book, be sure to check out the Chuck Wendig episode of The After Party!
