I won’t use Amazon anymore so I have to see if my local independent bookstore can get it.

Cover reveal for Chuck Wendig's THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS, listed as Coming April 29, 2025. On the cover a spiral staircase rises through eerie mist in a dim forest of crooked trees. A crow sits on the railing of the staircase. DEL REY is the publisher. Cover design by The Boland Design Co.

Text: A group of friends investigates the mystery of a strange staircase in the woods in this mesmerizing horror novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Accidents. Five high school friends are bonded by an oath to protect one another no matter what. Then, on a camping trip in the middle of the forest, they find something extraordinary: a mysterious staircase to nowhere. One friend walks up—and never comes back down. Then the staircase disappears. Twenty years later, the staircase has reappeared. Now the group returns to find the lost boy—and what lies beyond the staircase in the woods. . . .

As I am a writer and must peddle my wares lest I die in the abyss, hey! In April 2025, THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS emerges from the fog and the trees and if you wanted to pre-order it from your favorite local bookstore -- or get signed, personalized copies from Doylestown Bookshop -- that'd be nice.

Yeah….we saw this coming before it was even on the horizon.

Chris Murphy: "This is a disaster. It's illegal."

So would the families of the 3 US soldiers who were killed so far. bsky.app/profile/atru...

That was so disrespectful. But I’m not longer surprised.

It’s funny how there’s no money
1 for healthcare
2 for education
3 for free school lunches
4 to house the unhoused
5 for SNAP for children

But there is money
1 for ICE
2 to bomb Iran and Venezuela
3 to build concentration camps
4 for luxury planes for Noem
5 for SWAT protection for Alexis
6 GOLF

It’s all so obvious and yet we can’t stop him 🤦🏻‍♀️

“Operation Epic Fury” These ridiculous names trying to glorify and give reason to wars and violence diminish the seriousness and human reality of what happens, turning it all into a video game, trivializing the potential global consequences. It infuriates me.

I’m sure Trump would love the title “Ayatollah” added to his other ones.

Spoiler: It's Jared Kushner

It was great! Thank you!!

Thank you 🙏

A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.

It’s already on my substack! 😘

Arrest Trump. Arrest Vance.
