The Staircase in the Woods was eerie, immersive, and totally addictive. From the very first chapter, it gave me The Rules of Vanishing vibes—with that same creeping dread and disorienting sense that reality is bending just out of reach. The pacing was perfect, balancing atmospheric mystery with genuine scares. I loved how the forest almost felt like a character itself—wild, unpredictable, and hiding secrets. The ending stuck with me and left me feeling unsettled in the best way. If you love psychological horror with supernatural twists, this is a must-read. 4.5 stars!
