I've been meaning to report that Chuck Wendig is an auto-buy author for me. The Staircase in the Woods is my 4th Wendig and, like the previous 3, I loved it.
His characters are always so well written. So real and relatable, from their thought processes to their dialogue to their emotions. Staircase is no exception.
Staircase felt like a nod to King's It, minus the clown, and way easier to digest. I inhaled it. We've got a group of childhood friends coming together as adults and reliving a past trauma they experienced together, attempting to right a wrong, and re-forging old bonds all while experiencing some scary shit.
I loved it. I also love the little easter eggs that connect previous books/characters. Read carefully, or you might miss them.
Thanks to NetGalley and Random House Worlds | Del Rey for the eARC!
