“Deserves to stand alongside a Stephen King or a Dean Koontz—at
their best . . . A mature horror yarn” from the
award-winning author of Bone White (New York Journal of Books).
Horror writer Travis Glasgow and his wife, Jodie, have
bought their first house in Westlake, Maryland, just steps from
Travis’s older brother’s home. Travis is buoyed by the thought
of renewing his relationship with his estranged sibling and
overcoming the darkness from his past. But the house has other
plans for him. Travis is soon awakened by noises in the night and
finds watery footprints in the basement that lead him to the nearby
lake, which has a strange staircase emerging from its depths.
When Travis discovers that a former occupant of his
house—a ten-year-old boy—drowned in the lake, he draws
connections to his own childhood tragedy. As his brother and wife
warn him to leave well enough alone, Travis is pulled into a dark
obsession, following the house’s secrets to the floating
staircase—and into the depths of madness . . .
“It would not be an overstatement to say that Floating
Staircase is a modern classic ranking among some of the best
supernatural affairs ever committed to
print. . . . The story and setting sizzle to life
through Malfi’s unparalleled literary talent.” —Dreadful
Tales “Malfi gives a few deft twists to the traditional
haunted house theme with eerie, unpredictable, and exciting
results.” —Publishers Weekly “Profoundly moving,
terrifying and life-affirming, this is a glorious example of what
the genre of horror fiction can accomplish in the right hands.”
