After being fired at age sixty by a company using the pandemic as cover to replace him with a younger and cheaper model, Lindsay trips nightly into an all-too-real nightmare and must slay the demons from his past to survive.
We all have monsters lurking inside us.
Lindsay’s lengthy career ended abruptly when someone younger replaced him at the start of a once-in-a-century pandemic. His life is tossed upside down, causing sleep to become a thing of the past as he trips into a waking nightmare fuelled with uncertainty. Monsters lurk in his home, threatening his very existence. Lindsay must face the ghosts of his past. A portal opens just as the monsters are about to tear him apart, and he races upward, escaping certain death. With each flight he climbs, he comes across those he’s left behind, dead, and alive, trying to understand who he has become. Lindsay desperately tries to reconcile with dark family secrets and corporate greed to find solace and forgiveness. Lindsay continues living in the present and comes across a new friend, Dean, who is terminally ill—and he must learn how to become a friend with someone dying. At the end of it all, at the precipice of doom, Lindsay meets his father for the first time.
Switching between the past and present, the truth slowly emerges, and The Stairs becomes a riveting, terrifying, oft-times-hilarious story that never takes you in the direction you expect.
The Stairs is a genre-defying thriller that will leave you breathless as you race with Lindsay into his past, knowing full well the only way for Lindsay to sleep is if he slays the demons stalking his very existence: crippling depression, alcohol, denial, Jack the Ripper, doubt, insecurity; and escape.
His survival depends on it. On every page, ‘fiction’ trips into ‘non’ as fantasy becomes skewed by reality.
